I'm debating buying these for myself but don't want to waste $46. Has anyone seen these, and if so what are your thoughts? Is the series worth the money?

Hi Lin

Never heard of 'em before your post.

Their sample videos look pretty good. There is one review on Amazon:

Based on the topics covered, and the amazon review, it certainly looks as though the series is not intended for beginners.

Miniwargaming.com does currently offer a free mini painting ebook download:

But I believe it is more geared toward beginners. However based on emails I received from them, I believe they are in the process of upgrading to tutorials toward more advance techniques (if they haven't already done so). In any event since it is free it is worth a look to see if it offers pointers on the techniques you're looking for before you invest in HotLead.

Please post on how this all works out as I haven't yet downloaded miniwargaming's videos yet.

Thanks, Ralph.

I decided to go ahead and order the DVD's. I'm no pro but I was able to follow the preview videos pretty well. Unfortunately they won't be shipping anything out until the 29th, but I'll keep everyone updated on how it works for me.

I think they're excellent. Very well explained and shot tutorials.

My favourite DVD is the one by JBT but I think it's difficult to get hold of now.
