  1. Building and Painting Model Trucks George Dent ISBN : 9781785009181 The Crowood Press Civilian Vehicles and trucks are despite their lower profile are widely modelled and this new book from renowned modeller George Dent looks at building, detailing, and modifying model trucks. As well as 1;24 which is the dominant scale in model trucks, models in 1:72, 1:48, 1:32, and 1:35 are looked at in the book. After cutting his teeth on Airfix & Matchbox models like many of us did George Dent is now editor and the inhouse modeller for Model Rail magazine; he does though have a long standing passion for model vehicles. The book is 160 pages long and available in softback or E Book format. It is lavishly illustrated throughout with over 680 photographs. It covers building the kits, painting them, modifying them; and detailing them. The author uses a wide range of kits and materials readily available to achieve his results. Each individual project is clearly explained to the modeller with a step by step guide. Core building techniques are explained as well as more advanced techniques for detailing, and modifying of existing components. Painting and finishing also feature; from getting a show room finish, all the way though to weathering techniques. The book features the following areas; An introduction to Plastic Kits. Starting Small - Mercedes-Benz 2238 and Volvo F12 in 1/72. Further Adventures in 1/71 with ZIL-131 & Diamond T 972 Dumper. On Civvy Street - Demobbing the Tamiya 1/48 Opel Blitz. Post War Work Horse - 1/35 ICM Magirus Deutz. Utility & Style - 1/32 Mitsubishi Canter. Optimum Transformation - Improving Revell's 1/32 Kenworth K100C Aerodyne. Ploughing Through - 1/24 Mercedes-Benz Unimog. Build Bigger, Build Better - 1/24 DAF 95 Canvas. Show Pony - 1/24 Mercedes-Benz Actros MP3. Lockdown Modelling - 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 2238. Pride of Louisville - 1/24 Ford LTL 9000. Bringing up the rear - A Dumper Trailer in 1/24. Conclusion This book will give the reader a good understanding of how to build model trucks. It is clearly written by a modeller for other modelers, with clear and concise steps to follow in order to achieve the desired results. Even though this is essentially a "truck" book the tips and techniques on show will transform to all other types of modelling. As its not a sponsored book the author uses which ever products he thinks will give the best results. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
