Format:Paperback
I purchased this and similar titles to help me get back into drawing and painting as it's something that's been on the back burner for a long time now. Just how perfect this was for me came as a surprise especially at the price, there's loads to do and it's all presented in logical steps that made me want try my hand at everything in the book. There's all sorts from basic shaped robots to much more complex pieces so it will last quite some time and serve as an excellent reference once I've completed the book. Highly recommended.
Format:Paperback
As with my previous experience of dealing with Amazon.co.uk, I am happy to state here that I was not disappointed with the condition of my purchase or the service of the item in question being delivered to my address... I am finding the book very informative and very helpful, I am also an admirer of the author Keith Thompson and his work.
So in closing I would most definitely recommend this tome to any other budding artists out there in the ethereal realm.
A BIG thumbs up from yours truly!

Having just begun a Final major project at university, I was looking for a book to help with the design's and concept's for robotic creation, I stumbled across this and it helped massively with providing detailed insights into the creation of robots and all things mechanical. Worth getting!
