This book serves as both a comprehensive reference work on techniques and a creative guide, combining Michael Rinaldi's detailed methodology with easy-to-understand teaching aids that make the art of reductive chipping understandable and inspiring for model builders of all levels. The reductive chipping technique refined by Michael Rinaldi is an artistic and realistic method for simulating paint abrasion and surface damage on models, especially armoured vehicles, aircraft and other weathered objects. Unlike additive methods, where chips are painted onto the base colours, reductive chipping involves removing parts of the top coat of paint to expose the primer underneath, effectively replicating the natural wear and tear of real vehicles. The aim of Technical Guide Volume 1 is to demonstrate the full range of chipping possibilities on a variety of objects: Tanks: 5 models + test models; Aircraft: 4 models + test models; Civilian: 3 trucks + test model + 2 rail vehicles; Science Fiction/Mecha: 6 models (including Gunpla and Ma.K). This first volume is presented with detailed step-by-step photos, a dual how/why format, and brand new video tutorials accessible via a QR code.
