 Hi All Had this CD for a while now and have found it a great tutorial for weathering any ship from any navy. It includes step by step start to finish tutorials that give a great deal of how too's and donts to achieve that scale look. The CD is aimed at the 1/350 scale ship modeler but the techniques can be used for any scale ship.

Looks an interesting one but as with all these videos if you do not buy when they come onto the market they soon run out of stock. Its one i would be interested in getting but the few places that list it are all out of stock  Happy Modelling

They are always popular and snapped up quickly by modelers in the know, with some careful searching you may be lucky enough to find a copy I find it invaluable as a reference Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Its a good CD both techniques used are on 1:350 models as I recall. Think you can get it on youtube now and avoid the cost lol “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

They paid for it to be made so why not contribute back, without companies like this we wouldn't have some of the techniques available with their products. Definitely a DVD I would be interested in as I have plenty 1:200 and 1:350 ships to build. Thanks for the share Andy Chris On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

I found a couple of uk stockists that list it but sadly out of stock. They give you an option of entering an email to be told if it comes back into stock at some point in the future so have done that. Over the years i have bought a large number of how to dvds but this one completely passed me by. I have a 1:350 hms warspite to look at some time and while the video mentions its for german ships i am sure they weather just like english ships Might get lucky at some point and be able to get one ordered.

Hi Tony It may be case of thinking out of the box and looking for it in the not so well known model shops ect or even looking for second hand ones. Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Patience tends to be the thing with issues such as this and in the end something usually turns up. Tried all the usual places such as ebay, amazonbut nothing so far. Its not something i must have now so prepared to wait and who knows -something may turn up. I might get to dropping a line to the manufacturer to see if they have any thoughts on it being releaed again. Happy Modelling

Hi All I did learn a great deal from this DVD it mostly uses oils but the techniques used can still work with acrylics with care. It has 6 chapters from starting to finishing and detailing aspects in between. The main lesson I learned was how to blend in the colours and how to eliminate brash strokes. Also how dirt,salt stains and detrius build up on certain parts of a ship. The techniques can all be used on any ironclad ship from any Navy from the 1st of the battleships to modern day. As an example of the techniques used below is a link to the build of HMS Belfast in 1/350 scale I completed a while back based on the ship returning from Arctic Convoy duty. http://forum.model-space...aspx?g=posts&t=8499

Andy Andy I took your advice and looked a look wider than I had been doing and managed to find new sealed copy via a model shop in Poland. Cost including postage just shy of £20 so was quite pleased with that. This will be something to watch later tonight. Thanks again for the mention of this one because as I said it was not one I had ever seen before. birdaj2 attached the following image(s): Happy Modelling
