ADAM WILDER Modeling Theoretical Soviet Subjects of The Great Patriotic War Layering Techniques

Please note that this product is in English.

Adam Wilder manages to capture a dynamic range of detail and weathering effects on the
military vehicles he finishes. He does this using a succession of stages and layers. This is
perhaps the most important characteristic of Adam's work.
Throughout this book, Adam will show how layers allow the modeler to obtain much more
of a striking, realistic-looking result. The reader will see with numerous step-by-step
photos and accompanying text how he uses these layers to display, demonstrate, and
explain his detailed assembling methods and painting techniques when modeling armored
fighting vehicles. The steps displayed in this book will make a useful guide for all types of
modelers covering the construction, super-detailing, painting, and weathering phases of
an armor model.
Adam loves the effects and details that can be captured with 1/35th scale armor modeling.
In this volume, he uses four models, along with the stowage and crew members on them,
as a basis to explain his layering methods. Everyone interested in the hobby of armor mod-
eling will clearly understand how to reproduce these timeless techniques.
We all know that different environments and terrain affect the appearance of vehicles
operating in them. Therefore, the characteristics of the intended terrain are very important
when weathering static armored fighting vehicles. The season of the year in which a repli-
ca is supposedly positioned allows us to use the elements of earth, water, air, and even fire
together to obtain an abstract succession of textures and tones. These textures and tones
help us to add both feeling and depth to a model allowing one to present effects in every
corner and on each detail, creating a finished result that makes ourselves and others want
to stop, observe, and enjoy again and again.
We are all very passionate about Adam's work. His armor modeling accomplishments are
always full of features showing another reality that our senses can only perceive as art in
which every detail counts. This book is a “must-have” for anyone interested in the hobby
of armor modeling.
