Only the technical know-how allows the modeller to fully express his inventiveness. The world of modelling is subject to a constant evolution, as both materiel and techniques progress. We also struggle against ourselves, trying to push the level of realism of our works further and further. The quest for 'the definitive technique' may assume several forms. Discussing techniques with other modellers at shows and competitions is the easiest and cheapest one, but we might end up misunderstanding some important step or forgetting some other pieces of information even before being back at home. Therefore, the aim of this book is to provide the reader with some of the most up to date painting and weathering techniques (and this does not necessarily mean recent ones), mainly applied to military vehicles with single coloured liveries. Anyway, we decided to start the book with a different sort of article so as to bring the less experienced modellers to the same level of the other readers and at the same time providing them with the knowledge needed to fully understand the Advanced Techniques. The first article also provides the readers with a preview about the ways of recreating multi-coloured camouflage patterns that will be described in depth in one of the upcoming volumes of this series. The closing article is dedicated to the philosophy of dioramas' with a particular focus on desert settings.
