rinaldistudiopress was founded in 2012 by professional scale modeler Michael Rinaldi creating how-to books with a focus on painting and weathering. Each title is filled with efficient techniques for realistic effects, in combination with references, and a bit of artistic license, producing original projects.

Every book is written with our dual-text format discussing the How and the Why of each step, accompanied by clear photography with easy-to-follow layouts.

TANKART - The series that started it all. Each TA book combines technique chapters followed by the main armor models, wrapped in Lay-Flat covers to become an invaluable tool on your workbench.

​

SM Series (Single Model) - any genre/any scale. Discover everything needed to make something special in a lightweight "take anywhere" format that's always ready to guide you. New to the series (starting with SM.04) are the added video tutorials.

TG Series (Technique Guide) are intent on making you the master of each technique. Beginning with TG.01 Chipping, this series showcases what it takes to become efficient for any weathered model, from any era, in any scale.
