Weathering Magazine - Real
Ammo by Mig Jimenez

 

I have now seen a few weathering magazines from AMMO and it is good to see the quality of both the printing and content is not falling off in any way. This issues deals with taking a "Real" subject and weathering a model to accurately represent that subject. There is a fair range of subjects here to give the modeller some inspiration. The magazine takes a look at a Mexican Leopard C2 operating in a dusty desert environment, a retired locomotive, one of the last JASDF Phantoms, A Russian Kilo Class Submarine; and finally an abandoned Chieftain Tank.

 

The various authors give a good account of the techniques used to achieve the required look. The pictures are clear and the accompanying text lays out the processes used to accomplish the finished models. Its up to the reader how far they take things. If nothing else the magazine give food for thought on how far the modeller wants to go with weathering.

 

Conclusion
This looks to be a very useful publication, although in magazine format the print quality is more like a book. Dealing with real subjects it shows you what can be achieved in miniature. Overall a high quality publication. Highly recommended.
