Greetings all,

Sorry I couldn't find the original post on this topic but I just got an email from Amazon confirming the despatch of the said book.

So tomorrow or the next day it should be here???

Lucky You!!!

I hope this means that Amazon will be shipping to those of us in the States that have been waiting for what seems like eons.

Hi Scott,

Know what you mean. The original delivery time was estimated at 6 - 8 weeks, then a few days ago I got another email saying it might be another 8 weeks than a couple of days after notification that it had been dispatched and it arrived in my sticky paw today.

All told I think that's just over seven weeks since I ordered, maybe 8.

Hope yours arrives soon.
Cheers

Well Alan? What's it like? What technique are you going to try out first?
Is it worth the money?

Hi Pat,

I've only had a read of the introductions and biography and had a look at the layout and content but for me it will be really useful.

It's well laid out, page afer page of colour photos of the techniques he's discribing, products to use etc, simple and uncomplicated is the way I'd describe it.

Not the sort of book to keep on the shelf but to have on the work bench if you have one. Easily referenced, you can dip into what you need.

Worth the money? For me, yes absolutely. I suppose it would depend on how much knowledge you already have accumulated but I would say yes, it will clear up points your unsure off and gives simple techniques to get wonderful results although I imagine practice makes perfect LOL, LOL.

Pics are mainly Axix and Russian (exellent models) with just 1 Sherman and no British Armour that I've spotted yet, but it's about techniques not building kits and in the intro he gives good advice about fixing your goals and thinking about settings etc.

Yip do me very nciely thanks. Not sure if there is a review about it somewhere, never thought about using a blue light to paint by!!!!!!

It will be a well thumbed book I have no doubt.

I'll try a few ideas out on the current Mk V and see what the results are.

Cheers

only had a quick butchers through it hopefully I'll get a chance to read it this week on holiday but the amount of pages and in colour you can't knock it if you getit pretty cheap

Looks like Squadron has it in stock. MIG FAQ

Thanks for the heads-up but the almight $ is influencing my willingness to wait. I'm saving over $40 plus the shipping cost by ordering it from Amazon.
And afterall that's money I can use to get another kit for the to do pile :-)
