This is not something I am particularly good at. I sometimes get lucky but I
am not entirely sure about attacking some of my kits that come out pretty
decent in the first place.
I honestly am a bit intimidated by all the "new techniques" the seem closer
to Renoir then a fun hobby pasttime.
I have some of the Shep Paine books. And i would appreciate addtional
reccomendations on books, but what I think i really want is to see some of
these techniques demonstrated and where i can pop a DVD into the player in my
hobby room and sorta watch/test.
Could I get some suggestions?
Land/air/sea. I have some ships already done I'd like to dirty up and have
some armor building and finished that are begging for mud. Air is OK, too.
TIA

Re: DVDs on various weathering/dirtying techniques?
I bought the AK DVDs, they don't work on my DVD player, but you can
run them on your computer as long as it has a DVD player. They're not
bad, you might want to rewind some of the parts where they show you
what paints they used, that goes by quick, but as far as showing how
to weather, pretty good photography. Nice close up details. My only
complaint is they overdo the weathering. Trust me, there isn't an NCO
in any army that would let a vehicle get that banged up. Maybe left as
a derelict over a winter or two.
With the Germans carrying their own paint in 2kg cans, goes double.
Especially as they could mix with thinner, water, gas, pretty much any
liquid....
Re: hey grey guest guy!
some are limited some are not. if you have 2 machines, leave one changed.
best to look up the specs, almost everything is on the net.
there are a zillion guides on how to upgrade the firmware, generally it's
easier to do firmware. often it's a self contained program you run, or even a
cd you run. it's not a risky as some bios' are.
