Interview with Steve Zaloga

Thanks for posting that, Alex. Very interesting read.

Can someone describe the Nordic and Spanish styles in more detail? I've seen references to both, but nothing more detailed that provides a sense of what defines the two approaches. Are there modelers whose work typifies one or the other?

Thanks for sharing this

Thanks for that Alex- very inetersting read.

@Bill - I would say the main difference(As Steve says in the interview) is in the colors used, The Spanish style uses brighter moree vivid colors while the Noirdic Style tends to be more muted but then Spaniards see a lot more sun than people in Scandinavia. Some of the older Osprey modelling guides show the Spanish style quite well while there are three volumes of "The Nordic Edge" which show the best of Nordic modelling

Great interview again. I enjoyed the others too from Mig and Adam Wilder ... its a great idea to interview these guys and get some inside thoughts.
I really enjoyed this sentence ...


Good one Steve.

Not 100% sure, but adding to the Spanish style of vivid colours and extreme weathering, there is a difference in hues. The Spanish style having more yellow/red hues and the Nordic style more blue with weathering kept more subtle.

Thanks, guys! I am glad you like it!
