Over the years I've attended numerous miniature art fairs, model making exhibitions and re-enactment events where I've frequently been involved in demonstrating or teaching about
a wide variety of subjects. Inevitably you find there are certain topics or questions which arise time and

brief introductory articles outlining a few basic thoughts, tips and techniques to help beginners to get started with different
subjects.
