Building Better Scale Model Cars and Trucks: Detailing Tips and Techniques

Rating:
Summary: A great book on the basics of detailing scale model cars.
Review: Pat has captured the essence of detailing scale model cars with this book. He touches upon everything the intermediate or beginner modeller needs to do to rise to "the next level". From engines to suspensions, from interiors to exteriors, Pat's style is simple - give 'em the facts, then show 'em how it's done. In chapter after chapter, he not only gives you everything you need to start detailing your models, but shows you how he's detailed his own models.

Pat's book is highly recommended to all auto modellers.

Summary: car detailing from A to Z
Review: This book is a little gem.

It includes a lot of information about car models detailing. The book starts from the needed tools, and includes concise but good description of the systems on a car (engine, electric, brakes, etc.).

Then it includes tips for detailing of the engine, exteriors, interiors, chassis, wheels, etc., together with photos of both models in construction and finished ones.
