Hi. Thanks. The cover looks pretty good. See that the VLS corp. has this for $18.95. Not bad, considering how costly books are as a general rule. Is this book in all Italian or are their English subtitles to it?That would be nice for those of us who have a hard enough time with English as it is. Ha!

See that this company also puts out something called Steel Art, which looks pretty good as well.

Take care, sgirty

I haven't finished a detail study of it, but I think it can go along side of Tony Greenland and Chris Mrosko's books. Of course TG's book is still my primary reference. I will be trying their method of filters on the sturmtiger I am working on. I still am not real clear on what effect I should see when using filters. However, I will just start and see what happens. I used filters on an artillery piece and it was very subtle. But then I only had 8 filter coats and did not have a clue what I was doing. The final result showed promise but I really did not know how to improve it. Hopefully their guidelines will allow me to understand better the whole filter concept. Oh, their photographs are excellent.
