At long last the Darkson Designs Painting Guide, Volume 1 is now available for pre-order. This has been an arduous journey that we have gone through to bring this painting guide to fruition. The book had a very strong and positive reaction from the manufacturers and retailers that attended GAMA in Las Vegas, Nevada a few weeks ago.

This 96-page full color book includes:

6 Complete step-by-step tutorials from artists around the world
9 Articles on everything from color theory to painting NMM
25-page inspirational gallery
Full Color Charts for Vallejo Game Color and Model Color

Plus: “Painting Figures with Model Color” article, first published in “Historical Miniature” Magazine issue 19 & 20 (both are no longer available).

And much much more...

Pre-order yours until May 1 for $24.99 reg. $29.99

How about posting a few full-page scans to whet our appetites? :D

Oh, and a second vote for \"wicked cool\":

Something about that gas mask & bullpup \"AK\" really makes me want one! (probably a result of watching \"Jin-Roh\") How much will he cost?

Well, I guess that could be a good investment. What!? A step by step guide by Alexi_Z?! Umm, I think I\'ll be getting this one.

the book look interesting....

I do enjoy having actual books on the subject of Minipainting, they looks so good in my bookshelf.

I\'ll have to order this, if nothing else, just to support some of our CMON family for doing some step-by-step articles.

@chruspie, you should seriously think about that. It would be a good thing.

Thanks for all the repilies, we will post some screens shots of a few of the inside pages in the next couple days. As for the Neo Russian, he will be a limited release, so release date and price is still TBA. We are waiting on our other sculpts before it goes to cast. Wait till you see the German sculpts :D

The artist are under the understanding that they will receive a copy of the book as payment for their contribution. Considering how much it costs to produce the book and then printer the book that was most of our budget right there. Maybe the next book we produce we will have a larger budget for and we would love to be able to give monetary compensation as well as a copy of the book to the artists.

The artists are fully credited with their name, studio name, and website address, so hopefully this will get their name out there even more and get more traffic to their websites for commission projects.

Hemm... the contact form on your site has some problem (CGI error) so I\'ll post my question here :eek:)

I was pre-ordering the painting guide (always useful have a reference and I\'m also curious t see if you have used one of my pics for the showcase) but seems the S&H price is fixed.
I\'m in Italy and I just need to know if the shipping&handling is 6US$ for one book (8US$ for two).

Paolo

P.S.
Nice Russian miniature!

Hmmm...

I am just about to order, but shipping seems to be standard at $6. I live in England and I suspect it must be dearer to post overseas???

I will happily click on \'complete\' but I am also happy for you to advise me of oversea shipping cost:D

The shipping cost of $6.00 should cover shipping to anywhere worldwide. If it calculates at a bit more when we ship, then we will cover it for you.
