Hello there,
That's a good idea! I do have one book, one and only: "Modeling Realistic Tanks and Artillery" by Mike Ashey. I bought it from Amazon. Quite good with illustration, but then it would be more useful for beginners.
Other than that, I do get some mags here and there, mainly if they feature some specific builds i loved, like Tiger 1 etc.
Let's see the responses from the rest...
Cheers!

Interesting idea... I got a few books on General Modelling (more for beginners). I.e. How to build Diorama's by Shep Paine.
I got a steady collection of Tamiya magazines too(sometimes the contents are good).
As for reference, I usually use the internet and Armorama Forums. I find the cost of buying books too expensive when you're spending your money on models already.

Hi Good idea
I have a few books (Armour modeling by Shep Paine and Diorama by Shep Paine. Also TMII / Military Modeling / Fine scale modeling Mags. few of those master modeling Jap books. But sharing may be a bit complicated unless you hang around in one place. I for one visit M Workshop. What about you people??
I hate to lose / spoil the books. Share your ideas how to come up with a working system.
