Jonny Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Just a 'heads up', but I found this guide in my local papershop today. It's a special published by Airfix Modelworld and intended for total novices, returners to the hobby and for experienced modellers. Just under 100 pages covering tools, painting, decals, and weathering, plus a 'gallery'. Very little advertising to interrupt the 'flow'. Good value, i think, for GBP4:99. Enjoy!

Ptmvarsityfan Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Also got this today, seems nicely produced and always find something in these guides aimed mainly at beginners as one can get lazy or stuck in ones ways so nice to see a fresh approach and some useful tips. Agree good value and some lovely photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I received my copy from Key on Friday (£3.99 if you're a Key subscriber) and think that it is a great publication that attempts (successfully in my view) to cater for all skill levels. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caution Wake Turbulence Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I noticed recently that there's now an 'advanced' edition available: https://shop.keypublishing.com/product/View/productCode/STEP13/Scale%20Modelling%20Step-by-Step:%20Advanced Not sure how long it's been out for. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
