Modelling and Painting Science Fiction Miniatures (Crowood Wargaming Guides)

From the multipart hard-plastic 28mm miniature to the metal and resin models common in all other scales, this book provides wargamers, collectors and gamers with a wealth of information to achieve the best results. Modelling and Painting Science Fiction Miniatures demonstrates a variety of modelling and painting techniques at different scales and provides step-by-step guidance on building, converting and painting models. It covers working in plastic, resin and white metal and explains dry brushing techniques, the three-colour method, multilayering and shading with washes. Finally, it considers basing techniques and maintaining the compatibility of miniatures between different gaming systems.
