Book Reviews of Airbrushing and Finishing Scale Models (Modelling Masterclass)
Book Review: Real World Useful
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is "real word" right down to the binding: it's a wire spiral, glued to a hardcover (rather well, too), so once you read it, you can take it to your model room/shop as reference and not worry about ruining it. The examples are all real models the author and mates have built. I learned a good overall amount, but a few gems, too.
I carefully read reviews and product info, and chose this over the Finescale Modeler book on airbrushing, which was recently confirmed by a mate as being overall nothing (too little info).
I wouldn't have minded some detailed info on some of the techniques, almost a Dummies version, but I think the real lesson is to build and paint as much as you can to gain experience. AS they say about writing, "Writers write", so I guess airbrushers airbrush!
I certainly found the book useful and recommend it.
Summary of Airbrushing and Finishing Scale Models (Modelling Masterclass)
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.
