In a Class By Itself,

This review is from: Mat Irvine's Auto Modelling Masterclass (Hardcover)
I recently purchased the hard cover version of Mat Irvine's Auto Modelling Masterclass from Amazon.com, and was bowled over by the history, and photography I found within it's pages. Old box art from days gone by, the process of creating a model kit from start to finish, and culminating with some helpful how-to tips. It was none other than Terry Jessee of Scale Auto Enthusiast who clued me in on this book, A tip of the hat to another fine writer. Chock full of color photos, and insights from people within the industry, if you have the slightest interest in model cars, this book is for you.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Mat Irvine's Auto Modelling Masterclass (Hardcover)
Although this book is called "masterclass," it's not just about how to build model cars. Instead, you'll find some wonderful historical information about the various model companies and their products. In addition, Mat covers a wide variety of subjects including aftermarket parts, conversions, and obscure products you may not have seen before. The photography is first rate, ranging from shots of factory production floors to great set-up photos of dozens of different models and kits. This is really one of those "must-have" additions for your modeling library.
