Comments
This is an exceptional volume giving plenty of photos and some helpful text to encourage you to have a go at the techniques on offer. Mig and the team have assembled some of the very best scale modellers who regularly use these useful techniques and the results speak for themselves.
The contents and descriptions above will give you a very good flavour for the range and depth of techniques covered in each issue and I have to say that I was captivated from start to finish (not easy, believe me!). I just love each issue and it’s clear that a subscription to gather the full collection will pay dividends over the long term as you will have assembled an stunning reference of ‘how-to’ material to refer to.
A truly excellent range of publications and what a series – simply go out and get it!
Some photos from each Issue are included above to give you an even better idea of the quality on offer.
