Detailing & Painting Techniques

Volume 3

The least understood aspect of scale modeling lies in the weathering process.  A skillful treatment can elevate an already beautiful model to an art form.  But beware, an amateurish job only does damage.  So ... how is it done?

In this hundred minute videotape, the world's acknowledged master of the craft, at last, tells all.  Dave explains, stage by stage how you can enhance your scale efforts and avoid the pitfalls that lie in wait.

The materials, methods and techniques demonstrated on this tape are the result of Dave's 30-plus years of continuing experience and experimentation.
