Just finished reading this book and have really enjoyed it. Im certainly no expert in model building or applying weathering effects, but it certainly gives you a huge shot of encouragement .

Their aircraft books are quite interesting too, they prompted me to have a go at scratch building and engine and detailing a 1/72 Lightning.

Scratch building is just as the name suggests, building something from scratch i.e. using raw materials like plasticard.
