Rinaldi Studio Press RINALDI-SM.03 Single Model Vol.3: Sazabi Custom (English, 136 pages, softcover, 21.6 cm x 24.6 cm)

AMMO in the effort to give the modeler the best resources to create a superior finish in his models, presents the TANKART series by Michael Rinaldi.
SM.03 SAZABI CUSTOM features Bandai's 1/100 MG Sazabi Ver Ka kit built with minor custom modifications, and given a military style paint job, with full weathering. SM.03 introduces the Gunpla world to correctly weathered builds, with less emphasis in this title on the snap-build stages (saved for future publications). SM.03 sets forward to teach you how best to implement the current finishing processes available in the military modeling world translated over to mecha.
By working with realistic techniques, new non-toxic paint products, and the best of RSP's painting & weathering ideas taken from historical modeling projects, applied to the Gunpla world -- Sazabi Custom ushers in a new era for the Gunpla community looking to transition from clean snaps into weathered builds.
The SM layout combines photos with our dual-text format discussing the How & Why of each step to cover the entire project from start to finish. SM.03 also includes a Testing Chapter on learning the processes seen later on, using a 1/144 Dom Tropen paint mule.
