4 out of 5 stars Not too bad!   October 3, 2008

I would recommend this book to anybody new to air brushing. While some content may be redundant to an experienced user, there's still a lot of good info there. You can't go wrong for the price!


1 out of 5 stars No airbrush lessons in it   May 8, 2008

Wonderful jobs in painting plastic kits; but if you want a book to learn how to paint with an airbrush, get another book.

5 out of 5 stars The title should read "Airbrush Techniques for Plastic Model Kits"   May 26, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful


Actually, this book was precisely what I was looking for. I had purchased
and read several of the other airbrush instructional texts and, while they
were great in their own right, they were too generalized for my needs.
Most of them start out with how to choose an airbrush, air supply options,
etc., but then get a little too generalized as I said. They tend to talk
about airbrush techniques as applied to automotive painting, tattoo art,
and what-have-you.

The bottom line is if you are interested in learning airbrushing skills
as they apply to the detailing of plastic model kits, THIS IS THE BOOK
YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. Not only does the author cover the usual subjects
such as airbrush/air source choices, he goes on to ventilation concerns
and solutions, choices of paints and protective coatings, and other
areas.

He also presents several project examples as instructions on conceptual
areas such as modeling vinyl figures, weathering (i.e., making something
look like it's been through real-life wear and tear), as well as all those
little details that transform your kit from an overly detailed toy into a
miniature representation of the real item. I was particularly impressed
by the chapter "Adding Dirt and Rust to a '63 Chevy Impala". Here he
describes some very simple yet convincing method of taking a respectable
model kit and making it look like something that belongs in a junkyard,
right down to the grimy whitewalls and windshield wiper streaks.

For myself and others looking to make such transformations, this book
is gold. For others, it's definitely a bit too specialized and will
definitely disappoint, hence my suggestion for the title change.




4 out of 5 stars Great Info, Projects can help, but most are filler   May 11, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book helped me alot with my airbrushing skill. I wish he had written more of the general info as well as some beginner lessons. The projects are ok, I would do a coulpe mabey, but they don't help as much as beginner stroke, and shadowing lessons would have. More info on how to(try) do artwork with a single action brush. All in all a great resource.
