The first volume in the Painting Guide series from the Greek publisher Mr Black Publications. It is a thin but dense book: across 52 A4 pages it covers preparing and assembling a casting, the basics of painting with water-based acrylics, and then one complete step-by-step – a German panzer commander in 1/10 scale. The final chapter is a colour chart: painted swatches giving equivalents across Vallejo Model Color, Jo Sonja's, AK Figure Series, Lifecolor and Scale75. That is exactly what people look for when moving between brands, and online it usually exists only as a table of numbers.

Frequently asked questions
What language is the guide in?
English. No Slovak or Czech edition exists. The text is written plainly and most of the information is carried by the step photographs, so basic English is enough to follow it.
Is it for a beginner or for an experienced painter?
For a beginner or someone moderately experienced. The chapter on the ten most common acrylic mistakes and the flesh-tone system are exactly what comes up on a first few figures.
What exactly is the equivalents chart?
Painted colour swatches laid out so you can find the nearest shade in another brand. It is printed, not calculated – you see the real colour, not a code.
