Metallics have always been a difficult task for modelers. It doesn’t
matter which modelling branch you choose, at some point you will find
yourself in front of a metal piece/part which, of course, you want to
finish as realistic as possible. There exist many ways to achieve a
metal finish, from the use of enamels, towards waxes and bare metal
sheets. Inside these two volumes dedicated to metallics, the talented
artists from the AK Interactive Learning Series take you on a journey
through the difficult tasks of mastering metallics. In this first volume
we will show you how to understand metallic paints and how to apply
them properly with the right products over vehicles. Also we cover
techniques and share tips which come in handy when you are stuck. We
will see examples applied on aircrafts, engines, Sci-fi vehicles, afv’s
and details on all kinds of models. |
