Some great tips, but not for everyone.
This book covers everything from card and plastic structures, to wood and plaster craftsman kits and metal castings. It does not cover it evenly however. Only 14 of the 222 tips deal with plastic kits and kitbashing, while there's a full 3 pages on applying roofing shingles to craftsman kits!

This book covers everything from card and plastic structures, to wood and plaster craftsman kits and metal castings. It does not cover it evenly however. Only 14 of the 222 tips deal with plastic kits and kitbashing, while there's a full 3 pages on applying roofing shingles to craftsman kits! Although there are many useful tips - and a couple of gems, I would only reccomend this book to a modeler just starting on craftsman kits. That's really the books focus. If you're not building craftsman kits, or you've built several already, this book won't be very relevant.
