For the most part, these deal with resin or metal kits, but the skill set is the same.

Andrea has a couple DVD's in stock: www.andreadepotusa.com/.../painting-multimedia-courses.html

Andrea has a number of books on painting figures as well.

This Youtube video by Marion Ball is excellent: www.youtube.com/watch

There are several books by/about Bill Horan and Shep Paine

Bill Horan:

Military Modelling Mastercalls- Windsor & Greene

The Complete Bill Horan Andrea Press

Shep Paine

How to Build Dioramas -FSM/Kalmbach

Building and Paining Scale Figures - Kalmbach

Shep Paine: The LIfe and Work of a Master Modeler and Military Historian-- Schiffler

Finally, the website of Alan and Marion Ball: www.mb-miniatures.com/.../home.php

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Check out Amazing Figure Modeler Magazine. They tend to do monster/fantasy type figures rather than historical but the techniques are very similar.

Lots of back issues on ebay for pretty cheap.

They also sell 2 painting DVD's, They seem to be pretty popular but I cannot personally vouch for them.

If you like AFM you might also check out Modelers Resource and Kitbuilders. Both of these have ceased publication but are all over ebay.
