Magnificent book
Magnificent Miniatures right the right title. This book is a marvellous collection of the best of Mulvany & Rogers. The quality of the photographs are first class, a failing in many books. The text is enthusiastic and informative and there are even projects to follow. If I had to find something to nitpick I would have liked some more background about materials, paint and moulding techniques but perhaps we will get that in the next book - there MUST be another book....
This book is very well buying, there are hours of enjoyment just studying the details in the glorious photographs. And an excellent read.

Terrific Book
This is a wonderful book for lovers of beautiful miniatures. The photos are very detailed so you can see the tiniest things. Kevin and Susie have been highly respected miniaturists for many years and it is great to read about their techniques and see the evolution of their talents over the years.

A stunning book
Wonderful pictures and lovely descriptions of several of the many projects this pair of artisans built over the years . Their work is beyond belief - which I knew , but it is SO great to see a collection of their work in one book.
I would recommend it for any serious lover of miniatures , if just for inspiration.
