I just like to say, that I don't think that too many tutorials will help you. A tutorial, both in writing with photos or a video tutorial, can be helpful indeed, but in the end you need to sit down and do a lot of painting. If you look at too much and read too much you might end up being distracted by the amount of information that it can hinder you in what is really the key to improving your skill: practice! If you have one or two tutorials that you already find helpful I would suggest spending your time at the painting desk instead of hunting for more tutorials, and then taking time to watch/read them. You can always add another tutorial to your library later on, when you feel you have gained as much as you can from the ones you've already got.

I experienced this effect myself, some years ago. I spent too much time searching the Internet for articles and tutorials, and when I actually sat down to practice, I became confused by the amount of techniques, methods and tips I wanted to try out. Some of them were contradictory, and I didn't know which one I'd go for. In the end I sort of went back to what I'd done before, but applied a few slight changes to make small improvements of my techniques. It was a lot of work for quite little effect, and I experienced a lot of frustration during the time.

Personally, If I had to recommend one it would be the JBT one(who is the talent), excellent vid with lots of commentary. I am not going to harp on about Miniature Mentor(who are not the talent), other than avoid like the plague.

One thing I would recommend, is do you know a good painter? The only reason I ask is that I have just started giving painting lessons, My students are coming on leaps and bounds. And to boot your funding the talent themselves.

The Miniature Mentor videos are good and for just 70 bucks you can download all of them ( there is a lot) and then cancel your member ship.

I couldn't find it there either, but someone on the wamp-forum said it could be found at figone: Link to JBT DVD.

I just ordered the English (or rather non-french, as it also seems to be German, Spanish, and Italian) from figon.fr
Including shipping to U.S. was $47USD, not bad.

I hope it is actually in stock and I do actually receive it!

7 day army painter is great for airbrush info and how to paint vehicles to a high standard.

his infantry is not so great IMO. he rushes it and skips tons of details.

on vehicles he's a pro tho.
