This publication shows the modeller an approach to the painting and aging processes on all types of vehicles in a state of wear, abandonment and destruction, as interpreted by the modellers Scratchmod Rob, Mike Rinaldi, Virgil Suarez, John Tolcher, Adam Wilder and Chema Cabrero. The book Includes step by step instructions by each author, with a foreword by Mike Rinaldi.
Times have changed in the hobby of model building and painting, most modellers are now starting out using only water-based acrylics. This guide covers the uses of acrylic colors, with the focus mainly on Acrylicos Vallejo, pioneers in this field.
The intention is to share the experience in using acrylics with all model painters, whether they are just starting out or switching over from solvent based paints.
The information in this book is the result of nearly twenty years working with Vallejo acrylic colors and auxiliary products and is meant to be used as a guide and reference.

New formula acrylic colors with a satin finish, extra resistant and impact proof especially designed for airbrushing surfaces exposed to aggressive manipulation. The advanced formulation contains a revolutionary component which guarantees exceptional adherence on even the most difficult surfaces, and offers great resistance to rough handling, impact, friction, scratches, etc. Once dry, the Mecha surface looks the same as the original plastic of the model, while yet the smallest details of the original remain clearly visible. The color range includes primers as well as special varnishes – also with an exclusive formulation- and a series of colors for aging and weathering effects. It is recommended to apply the Mecha colors in several layers on the previously primed surface; a few hours after application the colors will have dried to form a homogenous coating of extraordinary strength and resistance. Mecha Color can be airbrushed directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver, and the colors can also be applied by brush. The compressor adjustment recommended is 15 – 20 PSI o 0.5 to 1 kg. For best airbrush maintenance we recommend using the Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.
Surface Primer is available in a range of basic shades most frequently employed to prepare the surface of the model or miniature before starting the painting process.

The primer preserving even the smallest detail of a model, and improves the adherence of the colors applied on this base. It is recommended to apply the Primer in various layers; the product dries rapidly and forms a homogenous film of extraordinary strength and resistance within a few hours after application.
