Painting Miniatures blue set great resource for any model painter

Advantages: so many tips that even a experience painter would benefit from, content is tops, packaging is good
Disadvantages: camera work can be abit shaky at times

...the whole set of these Painting Miniature DVDs and this is the first one i have been painting for around 5 years now and was in 2 minds if to buy this first DVD as its described as been especially good for a beginner. I was pleasantly surprised as i learnt many new things i never knew about, the fundamental techniques video shows so many little things that are very simple but they save so much time and the end product benefits from them too. I loved ...

Review of Painting Miniatures Fundamental Techniques & Advanced Bases (DVD)

Painting Miniatures red set the more advanced DVD in the series

Advantages: A very hard technique made to look very easy and gives you confidence to try it
Disadvantages: shaky camera, sculpting the complete miniature is not complete

...and final DVD in the painting miniatures series and goes into much more advanced techniques, it starts off with the conversions video which basically shows you how to change a miniature you are not quite happy with into something you are. This is done by sculpting parts of the miniature taking bits away adding new bits etc, very easy to understand and very useful. The 2nd video is about creating a figure from complete scratch which is not somthing ...
...ill get into it a very complex technique i think ill leave that to the experts. But after saying all this i still really enjoyed the video only downside is they did not complete the miniature, they do actually state this on the website and on the packaging so i cant complain but would be nice to see it finished.

Review of Painting Miniatures Conversions & Sculpting (DVD)

Painting Miniatures green set great follow on in the series

Advantages: great information, easy to understand, packaging looks good
Disadvantages: camera work abit shaky, will get you paying out for an airbrush if you dont have one.

This is the second dvd in the set i bought and it follows on where the other left off in terms of excellant advice and tips, the non metallic metal video has fantastic tips on all sorts of effects for swords, shields helmets etc many of them i had not tried before in the 5 years or so ive been painting. The other video is on airbrushing vehicles, something which i have not tried before (airbrushing) but ive wanted to get into it, in fact i was seriously ...
...re watch the video when i get an airbrush to refresh on the great info as i tended to fast forward it abit. its not quite the same when you know you cant just get up and try some of the stuff straight away. Overal another impresive DVD Purchased From: http://www.paintingminiaturesdvdguide.com ...

Review of Painting Miniatures Non Metallic Metals & Airbrushing Vehicles (DVD)

* Get Fit With Claire *

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Not many!

I used to be a HUGE Steps fan in my younger days! I was mad about them! I had all their CDs , Videos , Books , T Shirts , Scarfs , Posters , Mugs .... if it had a Steps logo on it , I had it. So as you can image I was pretty gutted when they split up. Fast forward seven years and Claire Richards , ex member of Steps , is back on the scene with a fitness DVD which helped her drop five dress sizes! I remember, it was Christmas last year, when the DVD ...
...it was too expensive. I can't remember exactly how much it was at the time , although I think it might have been aroung £17 which I thought was far too much to pay for a fitness DVD. So I decided I would wait. I waited so long that I forgot about the DVD , until recently. I was browsing through the DVD pages on Amazon when I came across the DVD selling for £12.98 ; still quite expensive considering that the DVD is now a year old. However I still ...

Review of 5 Step Fat Attack With Claire Richards From Steps (DVD)

Does Jeremy Kyle really access all areas of quality?

Advantages: Gives an insider view of the popular TV show.
Disadvantages: Bit expensive for what it is. Not a lot more than you would get in a standard episode.

The Jeremy Kyle has established itself as one of the staples of daytime TV today. Since 2005 it has covered interesting and often controversial issues such as paternity disputes (most common), infidelity, feuding neighbours and drug and alcohol addicts. However there are some uplifting issues that they deal with, such as family reunions and rejuvenating torn-down estates where crime and depravity are rife. The most well-konwn feature of the show ...
...at the studio and film Jeremy himself being pampered ready for the recording. The bulk of the 83 minutes of the DVD however I regret to say is not much more than an ordinary episode (though it was made especially for the DVD and has such never been broadcast on TV). There are 2 DNA tests and one lie detector test (I shan't give away the results). When watching this I did feel that the DVD wasn't perhaps worth the £12.71 I paid for it (which to be ...
