Part of the AK Learning series of modelling guides (English)

Metallics are deceptively hard to get right — too flat and they look like grey paint, too bright and the model looks like a toy. AK Learning 4 is the first volume in AK Interactive's dedicated look at painting metal, covering the techniques that separate a convincing gunmetal finish from a shiny mess.
What's covered
Building bright, believable steel and chrome finishes
Worn edges, chipping and scratched metalwork
Darker, used metal for engine decks, weapons and tools
Work through it and your tanks, weapons and hardware stop looking painted and start looking machined — the kind of finish that holds up under close inspection.
English-language edition, part of AK's Learning series. Try the techniques out with AK Interactive's Xtreme Metal range.
