There are many "how-to" books in today's world of scale modeling, but none has covered the "why's", as well as, the "how-to's"... an artistic approach... until now. In TANKART, a painting and weathering guide book series, the focus is on taking real-life observations of paint and weathering effects and incorporate the best techniques to replicate them. Within this second volume, WWII Allied Armor, I will go deeper into my thoughts about why of certain steps as it relates to Allied camo schemes.

To bring these ideas to life requires a spectrum of processes and techniques which are covered in great detail; including the Hairspray Technique and my new Oil Paint Rendering -- techniques that can be combined in an layered array to tell the story of each model.The book is 8.5w" x 9.5l" format, 192 pages. There are 5 models featured inside, 2 dedicated technique chapters, plus a special bonus figure modeling chapter by renowned modeler Radek Pituch.
