Welcome to a model world of dirt, decay and abandonment.
In this book I show how you can use simple techniques to improve the appearance of die cast vehicle models to accentuate detail, give a more realistic appearance or model vehicles that have come to the end of their working lives. The models used in this book are just a typical assortment of die cast vehicles to show how a shiny, unrealistic finish can be elevated by the careful application of painting and weathering techniques. The projects in this book are step by step guides, ordered to gradually take you through an increasing number of painting and weathering techniques in each project, building on the techniques from each previous project to develop your skill set.
