Painting Guides

If you are not a frequent visitor of the Flames of War Forums, allow me to introduce you to Tom Wise. If you are a forum denizen, then you already know about one of the hobby's most prolific painters and have seen his work. The man paints, paints fast, and paints very well. Dig around in the Modelling and Painting sections of the aforementioned forums and you'll find a healthy collection of posts featuring his finished models. Having fielded a multitude of questions, he finally decided to not only present his work, but also the madness of his method. With his permission, these Painting Guide posts have been compiled into a .pdf library for easy reference. The guides are loosely organized by nation and type of unit (infantry, mechanized, armor).
