ADVANCED PAINTING TECHNIQUES

Rubén González

This guide starts a new series of handbooks dedicated to modeling: the Black Star handbooks.

This first issue responds to the present economic crisis with a clear concept: "small books, small prices". This way they are at everybody’s reach.

In Xtreme Modelling Publications we think that Rubén González is currently, if not the best modeller around the world, the most complete one. His detailed and careful assemblies and his mastery of the painting and weathering of the vehicles, his great figures and his superb scenes and dioramas back up him.

In this handbook Rubén show all the weathering techniques for military vehicles, over two base colours - dark yellow and panzer grey simultaneously in the same model. In Ruben’s own words, the techniques he uses are not innovative but what is innovative is the way to present them.

The techniques demonstrated in the book are:

Filters

Washes

Chipping

Mapping

Dust

Stains of oil, grease and fuel

The used media are:

Acrylic paints

Enamels

Oils

Pigments

Varnishes

Graphite
