5.0 out of 5 stars Practical advice from someone who has learnt the hard way, 22 Jul 2007
By A. J. Martyr (Inkberrow England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
From bitter expereince I knew that painting any sort of model was fraught with difficulties but I had no idea where to look for help - until I found this book. I am so glad I found it before starting on my new model
Clearly written, full of the sort of advice that only practice can give.
Simple the best text on the subject on the market.

1.0 out of 5 stars How to Paint a Model Engineering Project............, 28 April 2008
By P. R. Atkins (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book thinking it would deal with the painting of brass and whitemetal kits for model railways - O, OO/HO, N guage etc. In fact, it deals with the meticulous painting of a 7.1/4" scale mammouth of a project. Beautiful detail and the results achieved by the author are magnificent but the book is absolutely no use to railway modellers. A good read if you are building any true model engineering project be it a locomotive, traction engine or the like.
