The author is Danilo Cartacci.
For those who don't know him, he is one of the best known and most skilled figurinists in the world, capable of spanning the various eras of the historical and making surprising forays even into the world of fantasy.
Suffice it to say that, paired with Mariano Numitone, he won Best of Show in the last two editions of the World Expo, the world figurinism world to be precise.

The manual, let's face it, is not intended for novice painters.
Although it often mentions the basic techniques of painting, in fact, it does not go into a description of them, but merely shows how to use them to achieve the different effects illustrated in the 128 pages, all in color, of the book.

The order of the chapters is structured so that one can ideally follow the entire path of painting a figurine, starting with useful advice on the materials to be used, going through the assembly and the laying of the primer, and ending with the painting of the various parts.
It begins with an illustrated step-by-step description of painting the parts most common to figurines (face, drapery, metal parts) gradually arriving at the more complex techniques of aging, drawing heraldry, and decorating the bases.
