IN COMBAT - Painting Mechas, reference A.MIG-6013, is a book from the AMMO by MIG Jimenez brand dedicated to painting and weathering mechas, robots, and large combat machines from science fiction. This third edition offers revised and updated content and illustrations.

Published only in English, this 92-page full-colour book takes a practical approach through step-by-step articles. It presents different techniques for achieving realistic finishes on mecha scale models: painting, wear effects, and weathering work.

A guide for finishing mecha models

Mecha subjects play an important role in science-fiction modelling, especially around imaginary robots and combat suits. The book brings together tips and visual demonstrations to help model makers develop more nuanced painting and a consistent patina that matches the look of a machine in service.

The step-by-step explanations make it possible to tackle finishing stages progressively, from base painting to effects that give character to surfaces: contrast, grime, signs of use, and weathering. These principles can be applied to models of different scales and to many science-fiction themes.
