Although weell photographed and documented, I was let down by this volume in the Osprey Modelling series. Maybe if the publisher had named it "Painting Panzer Crewmen of the Heer" I wouldn't be as disappointed. To it's credit, the book does go into very good detail concerning painting Panzer crewmen, but I think that the concept of modeling goes a bit farther than just painting. Very little of this book deals with topics like figure conversions, changing facial expressions, and scratchbuilding figures. A good reference, but I think that Osprey could have done a bit better.
