 | Modelling and Painting Figures (Modelling Manuals)
Buy new: $14.00 / Used from: $19.01 Don't waste your money. There are good modelling books out there. This is just not one of them. The two examples of modelling feature grotesquely proportioned figures. The coverage on real modelling is just not there - this book appears to be just an excuse to showcase some commercial European figures suitable for painting.

 | Modelling Panzer Crewmen of the Heer (Osprey Modelling) by Mark Bannerman
Buy new: $15.56 / Used from: $9.95 This book really dumbs down the modelling experience, covering only slight modifications of resin and plastic figures with head swaps. Why a manual is required for this escapes me.

 | WWII Dioramas (Modelling Manuals)
Buy used from: $7.80 Only very basic diorama ideas can be gleaned from this offering. The quality of the figures is very poor.

 | Modelling Fallschirmjäger Figures (Osprey Modelling) by Jaume Ortiz Forns
Buy new: $15.56 / Used from: $2.95 This book is slightly misleading. It should be titled "Painting Fallschirmjager Figures". The poor selection of these figures is unfortunate, being anatomically challenged, their knuckles almost grazing the ground.

 | Terrain Modelling (Modelling Masterclass) by Richard Windrow
Buy new: $29.16 / Used from: $22.31 This book is not worth the price. There are many useful products and techniques used for creating terrain modelling nowadays which are not featured in this book.

 | Sculpting Miniature Military Figures With Kim Jones (A Schiffer Book for Hobbyists) by Kim Jones
Buy new: $16.15 / Used from: $4.99 This book is targetted for absolute beginners to model making. The main project of a US Cavalry officer sitting prone lacks facial character and correct anatomy - the result is a caricature.
