helps even the beginner to develop a far more realistic approach
and to capture the unforgettable grimy but exciting atmosphere of
the locomotive shed in the steam era.
A convincing paint finish is essential for any model, be it
military or civilian, aircraft, vehicles, figures or even
background items such as terrain or buildings - and good
airbrushing and finishing techniques can be the key to creating a
superior model. Over the last few years there have been huge
strides made in the development of airbrushes, paints and thinners,
and consequently, this new book will provide up-to-date practical
information and illustrated techniques to take full advantage of
these new technologies.
Brett Green details the prerequisites of airbrushing, including the
different types of spray equipment and air sources available,
offering advice on appropriate thinners, paint ratios and air
pressures to ensure the most appropriate paint coverage across a
range of different airbrushing applications. He then examines
various airbrushing techniques across a wide range of models. Ten
step-by-step, illustrated case studies ranging from heavily
weathered military aircraft to pristine, high gloss motor vehicles,
science fiction models, fantasy figures, groundwork and buildings
will complete this in-depth guide to getting the best results on
your models.
