ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sang-Eon Lee is the owner, sculptor, painter, resin caster and box art designer of Life Miniatures. Since 2007 he has completed several box art paintings for historical figure companies. Seil Miniatures was his first workplace as a box art painter. After Seil closed in 2008, he was employed at a ball-jointed doll company, but he continued doing box art painting for other figure companies as a freelance. After five years of working as a painter, he began to produce his own range of miniatures, "Life Miniatures" in May 2012. His slogan is "No Compromise in Quality".

ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Sang-Eon Lee used Vallejo Model Color acrylics for painting Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel "The Desert Fox" bust (LM-BS002) from Life Miniatures. Inside you'll discover how he painted a realistic looking head with acrylics using the artist's Planar Face Painting System Or "painting by numbers" if that's a more familiar term to you, and a realistic WWII Uniform in exquisite detail. The innovation here is that every possible effort has been made to include the paints of many of the companies producing acrylic colours especially for brush painting miniatures. Herein we have the exact matches of equivalent (or similar) colours, or the Editor's suggestions for approximate colours, hues and mixes, to achieve the same excellent results as the Artist.

We have used and tested the 10 series of paints of participating companies AK-Interactive (3rd Generation and Old Figure Series), Andrea Miniatures, Vallejo Acrylics (Model Color and Panzer Aces), Scale75 (Scalecolor, Warfront and Artist), Jo Sonja, Kimera Kolors and Lifecolor.
