Here’s what reviewers have to say about '"How to Paint Pilot Figures":
- "This is not a home DVD . . . The audio is clear and crisp, and the color DVD is sharply focused . . . If you have yearned to paint realistic figures but didn't quite know how to go about it, you will find all the answers in How to Paint Pilot Figures."
BILL SKIPPER, R/C REPORT
- "This DVD can enable the average modeler to do a very good painting job on many of the popular pilot figures available today . . . I was able to duplicate Don's techniques and turn out a much more lifelike pilot figure in a short time."
DICK PETTIT, R/C REPORT
- "Gradually, a very human-looking pilot takes shape before our eyes; we realize that we, too, can create such a pilot . . . As I watched, I felt I couldn't wait to try those techniques myself, the DVD is that compelling."
JIM GRAY, R/C SOARING DIGEST
- "Don shares his step-by-step techniques, and offers clear explanations of the 'whys' as well as the 'hows' of painting pilots . . . The DVD features unusually closeup views of each operation, such as achieving natural flesh tones, detailing eyes, facial highlighting and shadows, plus authentic appearing hair and
clothing."
BILL HANNAN, HANNAN’S RUNWAY
- "The two hour DVD takes you step-by-step through the entire painting process, from selection of paints and brushes to the last stroke of the paint job . . . After viewing this DVD, almost any of us should be able to make great-looking pilot figures."
BILL BOSS, MODEL AVIATION
- "I'll close this column with what amounts to a 'rave review' for a commercial DVDtape . . . what I saw was the best modeling tape I've ever seen! It's tightly edited, intelligently narrated . . . Well worth two hours' watching."
JOHN DE VRIES, MODEL AVIATION
- "Don conducts the 'class' in an easy going, relaxed manner . . . The instructions are clear and precise . . . Special attention is given to the installation of the pilot in a realistic posture . . . This DVD is a professionally produced and excellently instructed venture that will be a welcome addition to any modeler's library."
FRANK HEALEY, HIGH FLIGHT
- "Don’s relaxed and casual style removes much of the anxiety of what can be a nerve-wracking task for those of us who are not artists . . . Don shows us that anyone with average modeling skills can properly produce such scary details as the iris of the eye, skin tone, highlights and shadows, and the texture of
leather and cloth."
LARRY KRUSE, FLYING MODELS
- "Fine, well-made tape . . . I enjoyed it, and learned some good stuff."
CLAUDE McCULLOUGH
- "Don Typond is the instructor/narrator who can turn you into an artist when it comes to painting pilot figures . . . The way Don handles a brush and describes mixing colors is well worth the $19.95 price for the two hours spent in his shop."
RANDY RANDOLPH, FLYING MODELS
Running time: 2 hours.
