I have noticed a lot of people posting and saying they were new to the hobby or returned after a long down time. I to have fallen off the wagon back into my modeling addiction. I was clean for 15 years. But now I wanted to do a better job then I did back then, but I had not idea on any techniques. Several forums had helped me out and websites with a lot of tutorials. But this modeling show from Japan really helped me. I don't understand what they are saying but I could see what they were doing and it helped me a lot.
Some one has posted them to youtube

But if you really like them you can find a better version (full screen) on peer to peer sharing, but you should buy a copy of them to help promote the hobby. I haven't found where I could buy them though. They do everything from Gundam, Star Wars, Tanks, to cars, so everything should find something for them

is MIG Productions products very good (and in English) but are only in PAL format., so you have to find a way to convert them.
The really helped me because I could see it being done.
Just thought I would share.
