AMMO of Mig Jimenez 4530 The Weathering Magazine Issue 31: BEACH (English) is a unique publication addressed to all model-making enthusiasts, both beginners and advanced modelers, seeking inspiration and practical knowledge about painting and weathering techniques for models and figures in seaside settings.

In the latest issue of this renowned magazine, you will find the newest techniques for creating paint effects and usage traces on tanks, vehicles, aircraft, and dioramas, with detailed focus on the beach environment. Experts from AMMO by Mig Jimenez, known for their highest-quality craftsmanship, have prepared numerous step-by-step articles demonstrating how to replicate traces of sand, saltwater, sea breeze, transitions between sand and vegetation, and effects of waves hitting the shore.

The issue features descriptions of both historical and science fiction projects, including battle scenes with amphibious mecha MSM-07 Gok Production & MSM-04 Acguy, the American Douglas TBD-1A aircraft with realistic sea effects, Allied beach landings during World War II illustrated with the LCVP landing craft, and German coastal fortifications from 1944. There are also unique solutions for creating the illusion of sea depth in dioramas, as well as modeling wave movement and partial submersion, as in the case of 1/72 scale Shermans.

Each technique is explained in detail, and the process is presented in numerous step-by-step photographs, making this issue an indispensable guidebook and inspiration for any modeler dreaming of building their own beach-themed diorama – regardless of scale or model type (vehicles, figures, aircraft).
