### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for beginners!
*by J***N on February 12, 2022*

Great book for beginners! However, little figures aren't what you would call fine detailed so its a good book to learn from but, I would personally but more detail work into your little creations. Makes then alot more fun than plan and dull. But it was a good read and covers all the basics! So great book for beginners!!
