WOW!,

This review is from: Complete Car Modeller 2 (Paperback)
Mr. Wingrove has some amazing talent! I am just getting started in brass modelmaking and I bought this book and his The Complete Car Modeller 1. Both book are indespensible for the wealth of information in them. I could not recommend one book over the other as both of them have unique information in them. However, I was really looking forward to the release of the second book because it covered scratchbuilding car panels in copper plate. This is covered more indepth in the second book.

A must-have for the serious modeller,

This review is from: Complete Car Modeller 2 (Paperback)
Where Mr. Wingrove deals with the more generic aspects of the craft of building model cars in the first volume, the second volume deals indepth with creating a Bugatti Royale masterpiece, the book contains scale drawings, numerous tips and tricks and covers basically all aspects of such a build. In addition Mr. Wingrove explains many special techniques and the use of a large variety of tools used to make these extraordinary models. I consider it a must have for evryone aspiring to become a master modeller or trying to improve their skills. I wish I had purchased both volumes years ago. Highly recommended. Even if one were only to learn 1 or 2 extra skills from these books, they will be well worth the money!

This review is from: Complete Car Modeller 2 (Paperback)
This book will show you the tools and techniques needed to to take sheets of brass and blocks of aluminum and a tub of siliconeand build a car model ( or other subject as well ). It is well written and easy to read with lots of informative photos. And finally, the author is a world class, museum quality builder who is sharing his knowledge with the reader. If you build models, you need this book !
