TANKART is a book series dedicated to the instructional and inspirational efforts of world class scale modeler Michael Rinaldi in an effort to leave no stone unturned. The chapters are focused on one model each and deal almost entirely on the finishes involved, which the author is known for. The book's central theme is concentrating on the finishes achieved and the techniques utilized in each project.
The "why's" are covered alongside the "how-to's" and this sets the groundwork for the book's success to date. Combined with the author's education in industrial and graphic design, a passion for both learning and teaching, and a photography style honed over years all work in concert to provide a wholly new modeling book experience. Storytelling becomes the focus of how each subject is developed into the finished product, and the use of specific goals for each model are foundations used to complete each project successfully.
