mere mortals could ever achieve something
remotely similar to those models.
Today by using fairly simple techniques we
can all achieve the same quality and in some
cases even go beyond what the old masters
did.
To create my models I use many different
techniques to achieve the effects that I
want. The picture above shows several of the
techniques that I use and I will try to explain
each and everyone as detailed as possible.
The techniques used above are:
1. Hairspray
2. Salt
Modelling has moved a long way since Francois
Verlinden and the likes of him did their
masterpieces. I can remember how I stared
at those centrefolds in the Tamiya catalogue

In this little guide I will also show you how
to make a small vignette complete with a
vehicle, a building, some groundwork and of
course figures.
If you are unfamiliar or feel uncomfortable
with some of the techniques I use here I
recommend that you have some practice
with them first before applying them to a real
model.
The most important thing, even more
important than practice is the desire for
experimentation and to discover new and
interesting ways to work and above all to
become a better modeller by daring to try out
every new technique that comes along.
It does not take very long before you will have
your own set of favourite techniques that you
will use on all of your models.
With this booklet I would like to thank all of
the modellers out there who have inspired
me and taught me everything I know today.
Thanks!
