Rinaldi Studio "Tank Art - Vol 1" Book (IMO a must have)

[nk]

I ordered my copy yesterday and its already been mailed...I cannot wait to have a good dekko when it arrives.

And now after reading it from cover to cover I can recommend the sections on weathering. Lots of good advice and lots of good photos to show how he achieves his excellent results. Well worth the entrance price. What he does need, however is a good copy editor, as the text is rife with typos....and maybe the help of an editor to help form the text more completely.  This is a personal taste thing, but I am starting to need a glossary in modelling books so that I know what all the painting techniques are...oil paint rendering, mapping, pin washes, filters etc. As good as the weathering/armout section at the front is, it is counterbalanced by the terrible figures in the back of the book. I am sure lots of people will disagree, but I could have done with out it...it was like turned cream in the desert after a nice meal.

Overall though, I am very happy to have the whole hairspray chipping/scratching thing explained clearly and lucidly and in a book I can pull off the shelf.
