Miniature Painting PROJECT BOOK: A Colour Scheme Planner, Paint Recipe Log & Hobby Archive for Miniature Painters

THE ULTIMATE PROJECT BOOK FOR MINIATURE PAINTERS

Plan your schemes. Record your recipes. Build your hobby archive.

The Miniature Painting Project Book is a practical, full-colour hobby planner for miniature painters who want to keep their colour schemes, paint recipes, basing ideas, kitbash notes, swatch tests and project plans organised in one place.

Created by a hobbyist, for hobbyists, this book is designed to be used at the painting desk. Whether you paint tabletop armies, skirmish warbands, fantasy miniatures, sci-fi models, display pieces, character models, dioramas or competition entries, these pages give you space to plan your ideas, test your colours, record your mixes and build a useful reference archive you can return to project after project.

Inside, you’ll find structured planning pages for armies and collections, individual characters and display projects, along with dedicated sections for paint recipes, basing formulas, undercoat tests, swatch notes, kitbash tracking, spare bitz, hobby wishlists and quick-reference guides.

The opening colour guide introduces useful ways to think about contrast, balance, neutrals, metallics and the 60/30/10 approach, giving you practical reference material to support more confident and intentional colour choices across your miniature painting projects.

Use it to develop army colour schemes, plan character focal points, record favourite paint combinations, keep basing materials consistent, organise conversion ideas, track supplies and preserve the details that are so easy to forget once the model is finished.

It also makes a thoughtful gift for the miniature painter in your life. If you are looking for a useful hobby gift for someone who paints tabletop miniatures, wargaming models, fantasy figures, sci-fi miniatures or display pieces, this project book is a practical choice that supports their hobby without needing to know exactly which paints, brushes or models they already own.

Inside this comprehensive miniature painting planner you’ll find:

Record primers, base colours, shadows, highlights, ratios, mixes, paint ranges and notes so you can recreate your best results.

Colour-Coded Project Sections

Organised sections for armies, collections, character models and display pieces, making it easy to plan each project type and quickly return to the notes, recipes and ideas you need.

Basing Formula Logs

Track texture paints, basing materials, drybrush stages, tufts, pigments, rim colours, scenic details and finishing steps.

Undercoat & Swatch Testing

Keep notes on spare parts, conversion ideas, project components, missing pieces, hobby supplies and wishlist items.

Quick Reference Guides

Handy hobby reminders for dilution ratios, brush shapes, brush care, paint consistency and light placement.

Your essential hobby companion and archive.
