Disappointing - Rated This book was first published nearly 25 years ago, it hasn't been updated since and things have moved on since then. The first 100 pages are spent waffling on about the different types of Airbrushes and compressors with eve n a little section on building your own compressor. There's a few pages on techniques but its all rather sparse and 5 minutes searching on the Internet will cover more than this book does. highly recomend this book - Rated Excelent book, a nice size and one of those that tells you how to do it rather than pad it out with lots of useless info like the history of... as many books do. Useful for anyone who spray paints things from model aeroplanes to full size trucks. A concise guide to airbrushing techniques. - Rated As a beginner, I found this concise and informative guide, a useful introduction to airbrushing methods. It contains a number of useful, graded exercises, that enables the beginner to develop airbrushing skills. There are chapters that cover techniques for use with both scale and non-scale models and even custom car finishing! It contains a great deal of information on types of airbrushes, sprayguns and their maintenance. There is a lot of useful discussion dealing with the different types of compressors used in airbrushing, how to choose a compressor and their safe use. It even details how to build a compressor for your self! Safety is always paramount with the author, with a chapter dedicated to health and safety considerations covering the use of a compressor, types of paint and dope, masks and respirators. The author covers the different materials that can be used in airbrushes and their application. The book lacks colour photographs, which lets it down, as the reader cannot see the intricate paintwork on the models that are illustrated. To conclude, this book is a useful resource for a beginner to airbrushing and gives an overview of airbrushing and what can be achieved with one.
