Although compiled by skilled modelers and have always having something useful, many are harmed to one degree or another by the inability of the authors to empathize with those who don't know what they do. The result is a book that could be titled "Watch Me Build Six Kits and Maybe You'll Learn Something." To make it worse, in many photos carry much of the data but are thrown in where they fit and not planned to coordinate with the text.Edmundson's book has none of these defects. It is organized by topic, instead of individual builds; it stays on subject; photos are very well coordinated with the text. Above all the author assumes that the reader doesn't know a whole lot and explains things clearly and in sequence. Because it deals with painting and finishing, rather than building, no space is given to working with resin, after-market parts or scratch building. That's actually much to the good because folks that use these advanced techniques probably don't need a book anyway.Anyway this is a model of its kind - no pun intended. Edmundson has collaborated on other books but none approaches the clarity of this solo effort. If you don't make "show class" models I'd bet my pink slip there's much to learn here for you. Highest recommendation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thorough instructional on painting and finishing plastic models *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2011* Once an avid model builder, I drifted away from it two decades or so ago. Now my grandson has reached the age where he is interested (and ready for) model building. So time to refresh my knowledge and learn all the things that have ben developed in my absence. Painting and finishing the model is of vital importance, so I purchased "Painting and Finishing Techniques" by Gary Edmundson. What a find! This guy is a professional in every sense of the word. The book is short (80 pages) and profusely illustrated. The organization is loosely structured into six sections: an introduction to the fundamentals, paints and finishes, set-up and tools, painting and finishing model aircraft and another chapter on armored vehicles and one more on figures. The book is more akin to a seminar than anything else. Edmundson describes one technique after another. The photos printed in the book could have benefited from a bit more contrast, but they do get the point across. For all the years and countless hours I spent building models, something as simple as spraying a black undercoat on parts that were subsequently to painted silver never occurred to me. Likewise, Edmundson's weathering techniques are a real eye-opener. Overall - in just eighty pages - this is a veritable encyclopedia on painting and finishing plastic models. Truly excellent.Jerry ### ⭐⭐⭐ Kindle Edition *by I***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2012* This book has a wealth of information for painting your scale models. The author covers airbrushing, brushing, pastel weathering, washes and oil color modulation. Its worth having in your reference library.Unfortunately the kindle edition suffers from poor picture quality. As any modeler knows, the pictures tell most of the story. When a picture is selected it grows to fill the screen. The images are badly pixelated and show compression artifacts.If you buy it (it is worth buying), buy the print edition and skip the kindle edition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/113488097-painting-and-finishing-techniques-osprey-modelling-book-45-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/113488097-painting-and-finishing-techniques-osprey-modelling-book-45-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
