The fourth volume (VOL. 4) focuses exclusively on the topic of weathering—the process of realistically aging models of armoured vehicles from various historical periods (World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and modern times). From this book, you will learn how to step by step apply weathering effects to tanks, armoured cars, and transport vehicles, recreating:

• Water, mud, and fuel stains
• Rust, corrosion, and patina marks
• Dirt from sand and dust (including desert and winter variations)
• Marks from grease, oil, and oily stains
• Techniques for building up grime in hard-to-reach places
• Realistic spots, chips, and scratches

The richly illustrated instructions are based on real-life examples of military equipment usage, referencing the historical operation of vehicles in specific theatres of war. The authors showcase a variety of modelling materials and products: acrylic paints, oil paints, pigments, AMMO weathering sets, and mixed techniques.

This book is especially recommended for modellers building models in popular scales such as 1/35, 1/48, 1/72, and 1/16, who want to increase the realism of their projects. The encyclopedia is suitable both for beginners (difficulty 2/5) and for advanced modellers seeking specialized inspiration. It's an excellent investment in knowledge that will transform your workshop and raise the quality of your dioramas and armoured models.
