Squadron modeling encyclopedia

OK, here is my review. I just threw 25 bucks down the drain. Oh yeah, an encyclopedia, information, how to build and improve my skills. Oh yeah, what a rip off. Great pictrues, great models mind you done by the masters. However, practicial tips? Give me a break. An example, they are telling me how to do an instrument panel. I don't know what in the hell they did. I will tell you, there was drybrushing involved and there was obviously some other things that resulted in what appeared to be a real instrument panel shrunk down to 1:48 scale. There ain't a way in earth and and Gods creation I could replicate it. Folks, when someone wants to learn how to do something, don't tell us you did it and show us the pictures, show us how to do it in detail. All the book is is a bit of WWII aviation history with close-ups of model building. 25 bucks of stuff I see on here all day long. Oh yeah, I can do that, right. I am so disgusted right now. When I learn all the techniques I need to know, by sorting through all the misinformation, I am going to write a book on modeling. I gurantee you, if you read it, you will replicate my builds. That is what the community is looking for and that is not what is out there. Another case in point, anybody see the Trumpeteer hornet build in FSM this month? Oh yeah, I learned a lot there. I learned how to put a qtip on the end of a tiny plane and paint it. That is about what I learned. Pretty pictures but other than that, a waste of time. I'm outta here. Just sit down and stop assuming we have all been doing this all our lives. Stop assuming we will hit on the internet site that gives the scoop without the crap. Just stop assuming so much and tell us how to do things so we can enhance our skills and move forward. I gurantee you, if you ask 10 people on this board how to do a sludge wash or how to do panel lines, you will get ten responses and maybe 1 of 10 has a beautiful model. The other nine has a lower wing with crap all over it because no matter what you do, after the wash dries, it don't come off folks. That is just an example. Man am I teed!!!!
