What the issue is about

The Weathering Magazine is a magazine devoted exclusively to weathering and surface finish on models. Each issue sticks to one theme and works through it from several angles, so the reader gets more than one view of the same task. This part deals with wheels, tracks and surfaces, that is with the part of a model that touches the ground and usually carries the most traces of use.

Why wheels, tracks and surfaces

Wheels and tracks stand out on a finished model precisely because they are dirty in a different way from the rest of the machine. The build-up on a track differs according to whether the vehicle drove through dust, through mud or along a hard road, rubber differs from metal in both gloss and shade, and the lower hull carries deposits from the top down. The same goes for the surfaces under the model: the ground and the vehicle have to match each other, or the impression falls apart even on a carefully built model.

Who it is for

The title suits modelers of military and civilian vehicles who want to take the finishing of a model beyond the paint itself, and equally builders of dioramas, where the ground and the vehicle have to be in tune. The text is in English, as the title says; a substantial part of the content is carried by step-by-step photographs, though, so they can be followed even with weaker language skills.
