Introducing a New Series of Reference Books – Bench Buddies! Created for you by Scale Modelling Now : All cost £14.99
After the huge success of our growing Photo Reference Library, SMN Editor Geoff Coughlin has launched a new series of ‘Bench Buddy’ books that will provide you with the ultimate modelling reference right at your finger tips! A number of requests have come in asking if the photo sets can be available in hard copy (and not just to subscribers) and so this is what is behind this new series. All the books in the Bench Buddy series offer images available in the SMN Photo Reference Library but at least now, if you want a fantastic walkaround reference to place on your work bench while you work, look no further, your BB is here! And we are open to any suggestions for new reference books so please get in touch with us.
