Realism is usually the goal we modellers always want to achieve. It becomes very difficult as we have to bear in mind many details, but these small details are the ones that give our model its realistic appearance. Extreme Reality shows how this realism can be achieved in scale modelling. Follow the talented artists through a journey from models to real life. Divided in step-by step articles showing you from well-known techniques to some of them rare or even just made for its specific model.
A car graveyard, an abandoned swan boat, a paper excavator or some signs are just some of the things we can see in the book:

2. Gently slide the tip in one direction along the surface to be cleaned or gently wipe off excess paint/pigment.
