AK Learning Realistic Wood Effects (English) (AK259)

Wood turns up everywhere in scale modelling — decks, crates, tool handles, gun stocks, accessories — and painting it convincingly is a skill in itself. This volume, the very first issue of AK's Learning Series, is devoted entirely to realistic wood, walking you through the products and techniques for reproducing different types of timber and finishes. It's an essential grounding for beginners and a handy reference for old hands.
