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.

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 ...

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 ...

It's Physically impossible not to laugh yourself thin with Coleen

Advantages: energetic, soundtrack, length, presenter, trainer
Disadvantages: /

Coleen Nolan has been one of key people in my life for nearly three years, and coinciding with my love for fitness comes my passion for Coleen's workout DVDs. Her first was a success, and her second was even greater. So when I heard she was releasing a third, to say I was ecstatic would be an understatement. The first DVD was very much a cardio workout, and the second was a bit more of a dance routine. I did wonder what 'Let's Get Physical' was going ...
...whole DVD, a smile that Coleen takes with her everywhere. In a little bubble at the side it says '4 x 20 minute workouts'. This got me thinking; usually exercise DVDs are an hour long and although broken into sections, they connect to one another. Though this one claimed to be four separate routines, taking the length to 80 minutes rather than 60. I was desperate to explore. Putting the DVD on, I entered the first of four routines. This turned out ...

* 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 ...
