This double DVD explains the essential techniques needed to build a model military vehicle: how to achieve accurate detail in their construction, along with realistic painting and weathering affects.  Emphasizing the importance of research into the real vehicles, Duncan Howarth builds four models, in 1/35th and 1/48th scales. He starts with straightforward plastic kit build, before embarking on an ideal starter conversion. He then completes an intermediate conversion and the simplified build of a resin kit.  In the second disc, he explains painting and finishing techniques by completing the M4A1 Sherman.
