SynopsisMake your model stand out from the rest with this technique-driven book written by Lance Mindheim! In 112 pages, Mindheim dives into the details of how to create realistic structures. Begin using dozens of tips and techniques on cutting, gluing, painting, and weathering on both kits to assemble, as well as models already on hand. All while avoiding unrealistic shiny finishes and bright colors, focusing on flat finishes, subdued colors, and weathering effects found in real life. The book features: Tips & techniques for building kits & kitbashing, realistic paint colors and weathering effects, modifying structure size/selective compression and more!, Structures are the key elements in establishing a time and place for your layout. Modeling them realistically, by capturing a specific prototype or the flavor of a typical real building, is our ultimate goal. There is a wealth of great kits available today, but all need care in construction to avoid unrealistic unpainted plastic, inaccurate colors, and unsightly seams and flaws. In How To Build Structures, veteran modeler Lance Mindheim will show you how to: Shape, fit, and glue joints in kits to overcome common construction challenges, Paint and weather models to accurately capture the colors and effects found in the real world, Modify and combine kits ("kitbash") to create unique structures to fit specific situations, Work with plastic, wood, and other materials, Scratchbuild a structure from raw components, And more!
