Review: Absolutely love Reaper Miniatures! - I have spent quite a bit of money on Reaper Miniatures stuff over the years. From their old metal minis back in the days to their paint lines, and have even been in on multiple of their kickstarters for miniatures. As to the Learning to Paint kit from Reaper, it's a great way to get into painting miniatures! I'll start with the miniatures. The miniatures included with this learn to paint kit are of a material they lovingly refer to as "Bones". This material is EXTREMELY forgiving, it doesn't break easily, and one of the best aspects of it is that if you give it a quick wash with warm water and some dish soap and let it dry, you can then paint directly onto the surface without having to prime the mini! This is absolutely fantastic because you can start off with the painting right away. There is a slight chance that the minis might be warped due to packaging, don't despair, they're easy to fix: just get some water that's boiling and make a bowl with ice water. Submerge the warped piece for several seconds in the boiling water until it's soft, bend it to the shape you want it in, then quickly put into the ice bath. This is the official way of fixing the warping directly from Reaper, and I can attest I've done it on multiple Bones material miniatures. The paint sticks exceptionally well to the Bones material, so much so that after it's painted you can bend the piece around and the paint will not crack or break off of the mini. It's by far the most forgiving material I've worked with painting miniatures, from resin to plastic to metal. As for the paints, I can say that I personally have at least 50 different Reaper miniatures paints. I picked this particular learn to paint kit up for the case and the colors in the kit, as I was in need of most of them. They have really good coverage, although normally you will need to do a few coats, especially if you thin your paints at all. Not really a problem, but worth mentioning. The color selection is good to get you started, or to supplement paints that you already have, and there is FAR more than you need for the minis included if you use small amounts at a time. I would recommend picking up a cheap plastic palette so that you can squeeze a little paint out at a time and not make a mess. Another pointer is to keep a safety pin or a needle near where you paint, as occasionally paint will dry in the nozzle of the bottle and you might need to use that to push through it. Most companies that have dropper bottles like this have similar issues with that, so it's not limited to Reaper. Lastly, the Learn to Paint guide. It's fairly basic, they really don't get into any difficult techniques, and they do a good job showing you the steps and how they achieved the looks that they show you. If you are indeed learning to paint, follow the guide, be patient, and try not to be too harsh with your first attempts, as you will more than likely not do well right off the bat. This is a great gift for someone new to the hobby, or if you're wanting to try out painting minis yourself. Review: Great set for a beginner painter! - Great paints, they had a booth at PAX South and I tried them out there and had to get a set. The two included paint brushes were very nice and a great size combo to cover most needs. The three included miniatures are great, highly detailed and the instruction manual is quick and easy to follow for beginner painters. I finished the skeleton yesterday and it looks almost as good as the one in the book, much better than I thought my meager painting skills would be able to accomplish. Kudos to the manual writer! I am excited to paint the other two. The case holds a ton more paints than come with it (smart). There is no red in the set which I think is an oversight, it would really make the set good to go out of the box. I mean who doesn't want some blood on their weapons now and then? I went ahead and went to their online store where you can buy singles and filled out this set with a few basic colors that were missing and a variation or two of some other colors that were included. I bought some red, orange and purple which aren't in this set, as well as some additional shades of blue, green, tan and yellow while I was at it. Still plenty of room for more colors as I need them in the box but with what is here you can mix away to get unlimited colors. The add on paints I ordered shipped that same day from their headquarters in Texas as well. Great service. One of the yellow paints in the original box didn't have the lid on all the way and didn't work out of the box. However, the paint containers are droppers and the little dropper insert at the top pops out very easily and it just took a minute to clean the small dried plug of paint that was stopping it up. Amazing deal if you are looking to get into miniature painting but you are going to want a red! ## Features - Easy to follow guide for basic Miniature Painting skills with paints, brushes, and minis included - Easy to follow Instruction Guide by award winning painter Rhonda Bender - Many Reaper miniatures must also be glued together such as certain limbs and weapons - Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly and prep work may be required ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00NTMC49G | | Additional Features | Non-Toxic | | Age Range Description | 5 To 7 Years | | Art Craft Kit Type | Painting | | Brand Name | Reaper | | Color | [MULTI] | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,748) | | Included Components | Brush | | Item Dimensions | 11 x 3.5 x 10 inches | | Item Weight | 1.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Reaper Miniatures | | Number of Pieces | 120 | | Paint Type | Miniature Painting Paint | | Product Style | Box | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | 16 Piece Set | | Subject Character | Fantasy Creatures and Warriors | | Theme | Skull | | UPC | 885105397374 885115317911 762486089060 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** 5 To 7 Years - **Brand:** Reaper - **Color:** [MULTI] - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 11 x 3.5 x 10 inches - **Theme:** Skull ## Images ![Bare Bones Learn to Paint Kit: Basic Techniques - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714W3CcIeNL.jpg) ![Bare Bones Learn to Paint Kit: Basic Techniques - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81t2myX0wOL.jpg) ![Bare Bones Learn to Paint Kit: Basic Techniques - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71H87HbTOeL.jpg) ![Bare Bones Learn to Paint Kit: Basic Techniques - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mP9ufdfvL.jpg) ![Bare Bones Learn to Paint Kit: Basic Techniques - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7106iwTxluL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely love Reaper Miniatures! *by J***S on November 5, 2020* I have spent quite a bit of money on Reaper Miniatures stuff over the years.

The instructions are great and really help you learn the basic techniques for mini painting. The set comes with 3 minis and step by step instructions for the minis. The paints it comes with are great quality. They’re thinner than most other paints from miniature companies. You won’t have to thin them, which is nice for beginners. The color selection is good. You’ll be missing a few colors but if you buy the other set (layer up) you’ll have pretty much every color you need. The price is pretty good. Most miniature paints cost about 3 dollars per bottle at your local game store. For 11 paints at about 30 bucks it’s a great price, considering you also get brushes, a nice case, and minis too. I would recommend you get this set if you’re learning to paint. Especially if it’s for something like Dungeons and Dragons, since the minis are for DnD or other fantasy games. If you like this set and the paints you should buy the Layer Up set (it’s the box with the blue label). With both sets you’ll have pretty much every color you’ll need (except an orange, purple, and gold) ## Frequently Bought Together - Bare Bones Learn to Paint Kit: Basic Techniques - REAPER: 08907 - Learn to Paint: Layer Up!
