Rob Henden, internationally respected modeler, shows how to choose, assemble and paint military figures.
In super close-up detail we learn the skills necessary to achieve the completely realistic results that led to the creation of his Gold Medal winning SS Fallschirmjager figure.
This program takes us from research, kit choice and tools required through cleaning of castings, filling and finishing assembly to priming, brush and airbrush painting and eventually to appropriate base-work. He looks in detail at texturing, painting flesh-tones, facial features, clothing, weapons and equipment, wood grain, leather, dry brushing, metals and much much more.
A highly detailed menu lists each topic for easy and immediate navigation whilst the DVD pause facility allows you to stop the action at any time to appreciate in close detail each step and the finished astonishing models.
Main program approx. 56 minutes
PLUS these great DVD Extras:
· Profile of Rob Henden · Model panorama · Correcting common mistakes · List of products used or recommended · Sources, reference and bibliography
Total running time: approx. 100 minutes

@ethanforster Well if you own an airbrush then just spray dabs of paint until it covers the model. If you don't then get and old brush and chop half of the bristles off and dab that with paint over the model until it is covered by paint.
