ENCYCLOPEDIA of Aircraft Modelling Techniques

After several years of hard work (I mean it, believe me) building and shooting step by step the work in progress of the models; contacting with the Wild Bunch of collaborators; and finally assembling , writing, designing and editing the books (thanks a lot to the skilled and professional staff from AMMO of Mig Jimenez) the ENCYCLOPEDIA of Aircraft Modelling Techniques is here.

Available in English, Spanish and French. You can get the volumes individualy or you can purchase the whole 5 volumes, and get a free extra 44 pages volume:
Encyclopedia of Aircraft-AMMO by Mig Jimenez 


This Encyclopedia is not directed to one specific type of modeller. Every stage of the modelling process is explained so can be followed by new modellers, but also includes techniques more suitable for advanced modellers. I myself have learned a lot of new tricks from the collaborator modellers, apart from experimenting new products and tools.
The different sections of the volumes are explained with very detailed step by step sequences of each phase. This was the intention from the beginning, to offer something impossible to show in a magazine or an individual book due to the space limits. This is what has turned this Encyclopedia into something unique but extremely hard to develop.


The Encyclopedia of Aircraft Modelling Techniques is published in English and Spanish:
Volume 1: Cockpits, 124 pages
Volume 2: Interiors and Assembly, 168 pages
Volume 3: Painting, 168 pages
Volume 4: Weathering, 160 pages
Volume 5: Final Steps, 124 pages
Volume Extra: Full Process on an aircraft, 48 pages (only for subscribers)

And for you, stats lovers as me, here are some numbers:
-5 volumes, plus an extra volume only for subscribers.
- More than 750 pages.
- More than 3500 photos.
-20 modellers
-15 main models and a lot of complimentary models.

Such a huge work couldn´t have be done by just one modeller. A lot of friends have contributed in this project. My deepest gratitude and admiration to all of them.
Ricardo Rodríguez, JD. Cabrera and Miguel Brito have helped me with the development of the main content.
Mig Jimenez and Carlos Cuesta have leaded and guided the project through the many difficulties with patience and determination.
