I’ve been convinced by my friend Anakron, an extremely talented painter and sculptor based in France, to give Andrea paints a try. I purchased the black and white sets a while back, and recently acquired the blue and flesh sets, but haven’t had a chance to work with them enough to definitively make them my primary paints yet. In the meantime, I’ve been exploring what reviews I can find on the Net, and recently came across reference to a great tutorial series on YouTube in a post on Befreiungskriege 1813-14. If you’re considering switching to Andrea paints, or just giving a set or two a try, the videos are definitely worth watching.
From the Michigan Toy Soldier Company‘s YouTube page:
In this series of videos by Michigan Toy Soldier’s Dave Youngquist we will show you how to paint a miniature using the Andrea Miniatures acrylic paint set system. Volume 1 is an introduction to the various sets and colors currently available. The figure that will be used in this demonstration is a 1/10th scale resin bust of The Red Baron also produced by Andrea Miniatures.
The MTSC YouTube page has lots of other informative videos that are worth checking out, so be sure to explore their offerings.
I hope this helps!
