Beschreibung
Adam Wilder manages to capture a dynamic range of detail and weathering effects on themilitary vehicles he finishes. He does this using a succession of stages and layers. This isperhaps the most important characteristic of Adam’s work.
Throughout this book, Adam will show how layers allow the modeler to obtain much moreof a striking, realistic-looking result. The reader will see with numerous step-by-stepphotos and accompanying text how he uses these layers to display, demonstrate, andexplain his detailed assembling methods and painting techniques when modeling armoredfighting vehicles. The steps displayed in this book will make a useful guide for all types ofmodelers covering the construction, super-detailing, painting, and weathering phases ofan armor model.
Adam loves the effects and details that can be captured with 1/35th scale armor modeling.In this volume, he uses four models, along with the stowage and crew members on them,as a basis to explain his layering methods. Everyone interested in the hobby of armor modelingwill clearly understand how to reproduce these timeless techniques.
We all know that different environments and terrain affect the appearance of vehiclesoperating in them. Therefore, the characteristics of the intended terrain are very importantwhen weathering static armored fighting vehicles. The season of the year in which a replicais supposedly positioned allows us to use the elements of earth, water, air, and even firetogether to obtain an abstract succession of textures and tones. These textures and toneshelp us to add both feeling and depth to a model allowing one to present effects in everycorner and on each detail, creating a finished result that makes ourselves and others wantto stop, observe, and enjoy again and again.
We are all very passionate about Adam’s work. His armor modeling accomplishments arealways full of features showing another reality that our senses can only perceive as art inwhich every detail counts. This book is a “must-have” for anyone interested in the hobbyof armor modeling.
