The only modelling magazine in the world devoted entirely to painting and the effects of weathering faces a very special subject: the different painting Styles that cause furore nowadays in the modelling world.
Through 72 pages we’ll discover new styles for some of us, such as Black & White, or the Japanese Style (J-Style). We will also show the classic styles like Realistic or Colour Modulation. We will see a comparison in how to face the same model from two different angles and check that both results are equals in quality. In this case, with two F-16: one clean and the other very weathered.
As usual this magazine explains with detailed “step by step” articles how to perform every technique from some of the best modellers in the world. The definitive guide for learning to provide a new Style to our models and leave the routine.
