You go to the APP and check out that specific technique with the search engine feature, finding the exact products that you will need to achieve that result, as well as a guide on HOW TO USE them, and a video showing how those effects are applied. This APP is meant for all of us who enjoy and love this great hobby, and who want answers immediately on hand.

I must admit my Samsung Tablet is an essential tool on my workbench and I love the AK products. Can't wait for the Android version...

Interesting concept. But for someone like me who has their own computer/model room, my computer is right next to my workbench on a 90 degree joining table. I do find that I use my computer extensively while modeling. If I'm looking for some information that I haven't researched yet, it's just usually a "Google" away. I did checkout the AK site to see what information is available, which is fairly extensive for weathering applications. Joel
