Thanks Jim for a great, concise review on what looks like a very useful guide. Exceptional value, too! Well within the budget of even the beginning teen modeler, and that's very important.
How-to questions on these finishing topics come up once a week here on the painting forum and every one gets answered and discussed until everyone has the answers they seek.
Having this book next to you as a SBS guide as you try these techniques would be invaluable though.

I bought it quite a while back (first time the news about this came up) and all I can say is that it is a really good little publication. Each technique follows a nice application order so you know what method to apply next. Of course, you can create your own variation but this guide provides a definite base from which to start. I was also really impressed (more than I thought I would be) with the general quality of this guide in terms of the good pictures it contained and the the simple yet efficient way the information is presented. It is definitely worth buying!

I would like to point out that this book is amazing for it's size and content, but also that XTREME MODELLING publication is not carrying it anymore.

I had to order it online, in the UK Ian Allan Publishing ADVANCED PAINTING TECHNIQUES
