The Weathering Magazine Issue 27: RECYCLED

The Weathering Magazine, issue 27 — Recycled

This is a printed modeling publication, not a model and not modeling material. The Weathering Magazine is a magazine published by the AMMO of Mig Jimenez brand, and every issue is devoted to a single theme: it concentrates on one topic from the field of weathering, patina and surface effects and takes it apart in a series of sample builds carried out step by step, with large photographs of the individual stages and a description of the products and techniques used. Issue 27 carries the theme Recycled, that is the second life of vehicles and material — machines and objects that were rebuilt, repaired, reused or put together from whatever was at hand.

What the issue offers

• A single theme throughout — the whole issue holds to one topic rather than scattered news.
• Step-by-step procedures with photographs of the individual stages of the work.
• Surface effect techniques: corrosion, wear, soiling, mismatched paintwork and patches on the surface.
• Examples of finished work that can serve as a reference for your own model or diorama.
• The format of an ordinary modeling magazine, that is a publication to read and browse, not instructions for one particular model.

Who the publication is for

For modelers who already handle basic building and painting and want to move on to a convincing surface. The theme of recycled and rebuilt vehicles is rewarding above all for builders of dioramas and scenes, where a model should not look factory fresh but like an object with a history. Figure painters and builders of civilian vehicles get something out of it too — the principles of soiling and wear described here work across subjects. The publication reads well even without knowing a particular product range, because it explains the principle and not just a recipe.

This is a printed publication. It contains no model, no paints and no other modeling material.
