Back in the day when Garage Kits ruled my world I used to draw inspiration from David Fisher,

I had Volume 1 and 2 on video and they were great. It is now on 2 DVD's, each with 3 Volumes!!!

Highly recommend them, you wont get transformers but with the first disc you will see his approach to:

Mixing paint

Base coating

Airbrushing tones (not just shadows of a dark color around everything) :confused:

Drybrushing tones (not making everything look like is belongs in “Geeks-Workshop”) :p

Metal effects (Not just drybrusing sliver on black, seriously people!!) :rolleyes:

Washes, painting detail, textures, weathering.
Masking (With Latex, best ever!!) :cool:

and lots of other stuff buy it!!! :D

David Fisher is a legend in the garage kit world, I may have to pick these up.
I get most of my info online via forums but seeing it done step by step is invaluable.

Yeah me too not sure how long they have been out on DVD probably a while. I think the production was pretty good but it might be a little dated not sure. My NTSC VCR dosn't work anymore so I cant check :(

I have a working NTSC VCR, but I need a step-down transformer to make it work! I have a step-down transformer but I don't think it's working anymore. For some stupid reason transformers cost an arm and a leg* in Australia! :/

*Like twice the price, 3x the weight and 5x the size of what I could get in Japan.
