Description

Jose Luis Lopez Ruiz is a renowned Spanish modeller, also well known to Steelmaster Magazine's readership. This talented modeller spent the alst few years developing and improving his own technique, inspired by the zenithal painting effect, to achieve a stunning color finish on his military scale models: the "black and white technique". Following the best-selling "Paint Guide for Figures of WWII", this new book explains, through detailed step-by-step photos, how to give your model the perfect contrast and an eye-catching look. Presented are the different materials used, the black and white priming technique and the different types of weathering employed by Ruiz. Five examples of AFVs from World War II to the modern era are illustrated with many photos. The understanding and mastery of these methods and related techniques are essential to give a striking realism to military vehicles of WWII and the modern era. A gallery of finished scale models completes this highly recommended book for modellers.

Reviews

If you"re a modeller and seeking to improve your painting techniques (like me!) then you need to check out this superb book * Military Machines International 09/12/2014 * The book is presented in an attractive format, and the modelling is to a very high standard. It goes well with the other title on painting figures which Histoire et Collections issued in the same series. * Military Model Scene * The printing is excellent through out, with clear text and great photographs illustrating the various techniques. This is a great learning guide from a top class modeller... Highly recommended, it might even spark the reviewer into making AFVs again! * Britmodeller.com 01/01/2015 *
