THE BOOK:
Renaldo Studio Press is based in Portland, OR. The book was designed in the USA and printed in the Czech Republic.
All Renaldo Studio Press books are shrink-wrapped in tight fitting clear cello wrap and are about plastic modeling.
This book is all about building, painting and marking the Bandai robotic armor suit.
The book has a soft-cover of 134 pages in 6 ¼” x 7 ½” page format.
Including the cover art, it contains 192 color photos, that are mostly of the walk-around type.
The cover art shows the Bandai model made up, as a color front-view photo. It is in sections in multiple colors: brown-shadow, light-brown, maroon-shadow, red-brick, orange-rust, fresh-rust, dark-brown, light-dust, neutral-earth, light-grey and dark-grey. These colors are all Weathering Oils brand tube packed paints.

Chapters are on painting (mostly done with the above brand paints) detailing, weathering and decaling.
Markings shown are a white no. 47 with a triangle on the boot fronts and small yellow stars here and there.
This is a neat book. It walks you totally through a magnificent final build of the Bandai kit.
