Sorry

QUOTE: Originally posted by cassibill I totally agree. Paine's book is one you will use forever. It is good for any sort of modeling. Even if you take a side interest, it will still be useful. Chris Ellis' Scale Modeler's handbook is pretty good too. It's a general referance sort of book, but the diagrams are pretty good and there are a variety of sample projects.

Thanks for the info, I shall add this to my list of 'must haves'.

Thanks again,

Steve.

Thanks for that, just had a look from the link you gave and it looks good.

I feel a purchase coming on.
