5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By dThorne (oregon, usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building and Painting Model Dinosaurs (Build & paint models) (Paperback)
This book is excellent. Clearly Rimell and Rimell have an excellent background in paleontology, or know a thing or two. As one can tell from the cover picture, the models in this book are exceptional, and the authors do a superb job explaining modeling and sculpture techniques and basic dinosaur anatomy. I have attempted making models using the methods described and although I am not a natural artist, I was satisfied with the final product. Again, this book is excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book,
By Some guy from VA (VA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building and Painting Model Dinosaurs (Build & paint models) (Paperback)
All aspects of making dinosaur models are described in this book. Construction, painting and making display bases. Vinyl, resin and plastic kits are discussed, along with converting and detailing them.
Well written and informative text is accompanied by many photos and an occasional drawing. Basics are covered first, more advanced topics are introduced later. This makes the book interesting to intermediate or even advanced modeler, while being accessible to a beginner. The only thing that would make the book better would be color photographs. Gallery section in the middle of the book is in fact printed in color, but majority of photos are B&W - that's the only reason why I gave the book 4 stars. My copy was printed 10 years ago, but it stood very well to passage of time. Highly recommended.

Over Priced Book,
By Zookeeper (Bennett, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building and Painting Model Dinosaurs (Build & paint models) (Paperback)
Gave it four stars because the book was a good guide. Book was published at the price of $15.95 and has 88 pages. Even though it is out of print, it is definitely not worth the asking prices of between $70.00 and $175.00.
