AK Learning 11 Figure Sculpting (AK512)

Sculpting your own miniatures — or converting off-the-shelf ones into something nobody else has — feels like a different hobby to painting, and AK Learning 11: Figure Sculpting is the door in. It's an 88-page, English-language guide from AK Interactive covering the tools, materials and step-by-step technique behind sculpting and converting scale figures, pitched squarely at beginners without patronising anyone who's already got green stuff under their nails.

Best for

• First-timers picking up green stuff or epoxy putty
• Modellers wanting to convert kits, not just build from the box
• A step-by-step reference for tools, materials and technique

Follow it through and sculpting stops being a mystery skill other people have.

A solid, practical starting point. Grab some green stuff putty and put the lessons to work straight away.
