Explore the exciting world of Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy figure kit modeling with The ModelMania™ Collection. Figure kit building is one of the most exciting and creative hobbies today, and the ModelMania™ instructional DVD series provides invaluable information for the beginner as well as the advanced modeler. With the first disc, ModelMania™ Volume One, Two and Three, Orbit Graphics has combined the first three ModelMania™ videos into one deluxe DVD disc! In Volume One, respected artist and top figure modeling expert David Fisher provides an introduction to building and painting by explaining the basic techniques for building both vinyl and resin figures, along with what types of tools are required. Easy to follow demonstrations include color mixing, drybrushing, washes, basic airbrushing, masking and detailing. Volume Two continues to build upon the information covered in Volume One by covering how to pick an airbrush and air source, demonstrating advanced airbrush techniques, advanced face painting, working with metallics, body patterns and transparent wing effects, glazing, foam filling vinyl and more! Volume Three of ModelMania™ takes your modeling skills to the next level by exploring the techniques and materials required to customize and add LED lighting to figures and set them into dramatic scenes for added impact. Learn how to repose a figure, work with Balsa Foam and Balsa Wood, create stone walls, transparent water effects, outdoor settings, spaceship interior dioramas and much more! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced modeler, this disc will arm you with the knowledge you need to turn your model kits into one-of-a-kind works of art!

A good exploration by an expert, showing easy to involved projects, with many details and secrets. I've never made one of these character models, but the skills involved will be useful in my prototype making projects. Recommended.
I've been slinging paint and building kits for years so I can tell you that this guy knows his stuff! This DVD is an excellent overview of kit building, customizing and painting. Wonderful details, excellent explanations, fantastic instruction in many, many techniques that will help you produce professional results on your kits! 10 out of 10 stars!
