Assembly

by Max Dubois

I got my first model kit ever as a christmas gift when I was around 8. It was a 1/35 scale jeep like the one my grandpa use to drive. The look of sadness, deception and fear on my face as I opened the box only to find that I had to build every little tiny parts of the truck before painting it is something my folks talked about every christmas since then. But do not fear, as unlike 8 years old me, you now have a guide on what do do before ruining a perfectly good 1/35 jeep – or whatever other model you have. Maybe you’re new to the whole model building scene. Maybe you’ve been doing it for some time, but you’re unhappy about the results you’re getting, or maybe, you’re always looking to learn and discover new techniques. Whatever your situation and skill level, you will find everything you need to know to take your models from the box and have them ready for painting. About the My name is Max Dubois, and I am a miniature enthusiast from Quebec, Canada. Over the past decade, I’ve worked as a freelance miniature painter, producing high quality armies and models.

Great start but limited

Great details with this book. Starts with very detailed steps and ideas on tools, painting and glueing but stops quick. I would love to see it continue as it started. Tons of ideas could be added. Great start but needs more. Good purchase for a beginner getting a hobby started.

Good for beginning

Even being retired you have to start somewhere. Starting with a B-25C 48 scale. Most of my models will be airbrushed
