Whether because of the spectacular canyons, the scorching deserts, the infamous saloons or the sheriff’s jail, we all remember the iconic images of the American Wild West. The tenth edition of PaintingWAR-Wild West is dedicated precisely to this period, immortalized in the western movies of Hollywood. With more than 30 miniatures painted by José Antonio Bustamante, “Busta”, the magazine covers how to paint the principal characters of the Frontier. With the help of step-by-step guides, the author explains how to obtain the best results in a few simple stages, designed to allow you to obtain the best results in a reasonable timeframe and allowing you to quickly deploy your miniatures for battle. In this issue you will find the most famous western characters: trappers, sheriffs and outlaws, native American such as Apaches or Cherokees, cowboys, animals and even a stagecoach. All these miniatures are painted in stunning detail. Moreover, with the unique painting cards system choosing the right color combinations has never been quicker or more simple.
In this book we find 10 years of work by the great modeler José Brito; throughout the 552 pages, the author shows his different techniques and tricks to build, construct and paint models, almost always in a setting of a diorama. The book has been written as much for novices as for experienced modelers, beginning with a description of the tools, materials and colors used by José Brito, and following with step by step descriptions of the models shown on the pages.
Being such a large work, the models in the book cover a large number of subjects: buildings of different periods, sea and beaches, wooded areas and deserts, realistic settings or Science Fiction scenes, different seasons of the year, figures and military vehicles and aircraft. In all cases, the author presents the step by step processes in a clear way, with all the information needed to obtain the surprising results which are shown in the book.
Although this publication has not been conceived as a guide, the multiple examples shown are perfect for finding most of the building and painting techniques which are actually in use, the more basic ones as well as the most complex, which lets the modeler choose the technique most suited to the subject.
