Didnīt Adam Wilder release a video on this subject recently?
See review here I like the DVDs, as it shows you "live" how its done ... images and text only go so far. Its hard to beat it happening before your eyes. I have not seen this video myself so cannot comment on it, but dont remember many other specific books/DVDs etc on this focus subject. I have a few of the weathering DVDs and believe its a much better media than books for showing techniques like this.
