Only the technical know-how allows the modeller to fully express his inventiveness. The world of modelling is subject to a constant evolution, as both materiel and techniques progress. We also struggle against ourselves, trying to push the level of realism of our works further and further. The quest for 'the definitive technique' may assume several forms. Discussing techniques with other modellers at shows and competitions is the easiest and cheapest one, but we might end up misunderstanding some important step or forgetting some other pieces of information even before being back at home. Therefore, the aim of this book is to provide the reader with some of the most up to date painting and weathering techniques (and this does not necessarily mean recent ones), mainly applied to military vehicles with single coloured liveries. Anyway, we decided to start the book with a different sort of article so as to bring the less experienced modellers to the same level of the other readers and at the same time providing them with the knowledge needed to fully understand the Advanced Techniques. The first article also provides the readers with a preview about the ways of recreating multi-coloured camouflage patterns that will be described in depth in one of the upcoming volumes of this series. The closing article is dedicated to the philosophy of dioramas' with a particular focus on desert settings.
The first volume of the Advanced Techniques series offered the readers the chance to learn several tricks with which to easily improve their own models. This second volume is aimed both for the beginner, wishing to explore the fascinating world of static modeling, and to the experienced, in search of new techniques. With the aid of high quality photographs, detailed drawings and a comprehensive text, the Authors examine different ways to build highly detailed models. The strong point is again on the painting techniques, not only the camouflage schemes but also the refined art of weathering. Just the weathering and the reproduction of tear and wear, bring the model to life, making it credible. If such a model is to be placed in the context of a diorama a work of harmonization and valorization is necessary, extensively explained in these pages. The Authors show what is possible to do nowadays in the static modeling field; whoever does not wish to super detail their own kit, can anyway find many tips and ideas that represent a step forward to a better model.
To observe the masters at work from "over their shoulders", has always been the best way to develop one's own skill. Therefor the idea is to immediately apply the techniques described in this book, getting more and more satisfaction from model making.
