Review Quotes
Christoph has been very careful to colour calibrate all the equipment used in preparing this book. He has used a SpyCheckr 24 to calibrate his camera and has worked with the publisher to ensure the colour management used by the printing equipment is accurate. This book will be of interest to anyone who builds their own MOCs and is looking for accurate colours for their models. It will also be a useful, accurate colour reference as online colour rendering sometimes is distorted due to the quality of the source picture and colour settings of your monitor.
