My Favorite Book on Weathering

[Rick Griewski]

A brilliant work IMHO.  Very informative.  I bet you all the paint sellers took notice after this book and his other works were published.  On sale now...

Is Rinaldi the guy that did several small books on individual armor kits?

Yes, Kevin, he's the guy. I have Tank Art 1 , (Panther G, Tiger I, Hetzer, Hanomag, Pz IV E and figures). It's the best book on weathering I have. Beautiful photos and excellent instructions on how he achieves results.

Highly recommended author.

I know this is a bit different but have a look at Tim Shackleton a clip

He also has a couple of books out which are well worth a look at I like his simple style "a business card for masking " great.

Perhaps not. I checked and the books I have are by a Michael Rinaldi, and honestly far from impressive. If the same guy, perhaps what I have are earlier works, I have no idea.

Interesting. Yes, Michael Rinaldi. Apologies if I gave you a bum steer. I like TANKART 1.

No bum steer, Damian. Like I said, what I have may just be earlier issues. I don't have any of the Tank Art books, though I seem to have way more than enough of other types of weathering/painting publications and articles.

What I need is a book on weathering clothing and uniforms.

Can anyone clue me into a currently available book or pamphlet?

They must be earlier ones. I have Tank Art 1 & 3, I think, and they are excellent. His technique is ultra-realistic if a bit lengthy as it requires multiple steps and layering to achieve. Beautiful, but time consuming.

Interesting. I may have to look into it, though as I stated, I already have a ton of reference material on weathering, which should point me in the right direction for a big ol' Jagdtiger I'm hoping to finish up in the next couple months.

Here is a couple of images of his tanks:
