ReaperMiniatures 08906 Learn To Paint Bones Kit

The reason I chose this set over others was for the box itself. The foam insert in the pictures looks great for holding any future paints and figures I would want to add.Instead I received a flimsy plastic thing which cant even hold its own position within the box, never mind holding the paints, brushes or figures. They just fall out and roll around under the holder.Seriously disappointing.

Far to expensive, metallic paints are really poor. The rest of the colours are outstanding, the dropper bottles are 10 levels above any other I've used. Paint brushes are the best starter brushes I've used. Miniatures that come with this are fine. All in all an good beginners kit.

this product is perfect for learning to paint miniatures. i am very impressed with it, the items included, the quality of supplies and instructions. it includes all the basics that you would need to get at a hobby store, but saves you from having to research what minis, paints and brushes you need to buy. all you have to buy after this is something you can mix paint on, something you can rinse brushes in and paper towel. youll also need something to add drops of water. i also bought the LTP 2 kit, which comes with an empty paint bottle for water, but this kit did not include one.the learn to paint guide is very easy to follow, and the minis are simple to paint. i was very impressed with the quality of the paint job, with almost no experience. including 3 minis you can practice on is genius, as i painted one and it looked awesome, then i tried to make it look better with some drybrushing and i ruined it. im kind of sad, but i took a pic before i ruined the paintjob, and its not like i messed up a mini im going to use, plus i learned a lesson about drybrushing, which is what its for.the included minis arent exactly as pictured in the guide, so you may have to improve a few colors etc. for example my orc has a horn on his back and 2 swords, where the one in the booklet had a shield and no horn, so i had to decide what to paint the horn. the minis are very flexible and not the best quality mold, but are more than adequate to learn on.i had a lot of fun with this, and each mini took me a few hours to paint. the case it comes with can easily hold your brushes and many paints. my friends were fairly impressed with my first attempts at painting with this kit. the paint included should last a very long time as you need only a drop or two for each miniature you paint.

I am new to this hobby, and while the price point is a little high on this by comparison to buying individual paints and figures, the instructions provided and the accompanying three miniatures were extremely helpful in getting me started. I wouldn't have a clue what I was doing without it. Feels very similar to getting a private lesson. I would recommend this to anyone new to painting miniatures. I had a lot of fun and very little frustrations learning with this kit. My only gripe is that it comes with a blue and yellow but no red. Gotta have those primary colours!

Arrived on time. Was a little worried as it seemed to stop tracking the package after a few days, just said it was still in New York. Still arrived on time and I am very happy with the kit. The paints are good quality and come in a nice range. The miniatures in the kit itself are a little soft. It can be hard to straighten any bent sections (swords, bows, etc). The instructions are simple and easy to follow. The results from following them make reading them well worth it.The case also seems pretty solid. Has plenty of room to hold more paints, primers, varnishes, washes, and glazes. It is not perfect but for the price this is a good starter set. Great for expanding. Only issue I had was one of the 3 figures was not as shown. Still the box clearly states this might happen.
