clovis Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) I'd like to make my next airplane the best one I've ever built. The last plane that I built was only 27 years ago, back when detailing and weathering was still a controversial subject. I'd like to hone my skills, and really build something super nice. Has anyone bought or read any of the Brett Green books on aircraft modeling? I think most of these books are published by Osprey. They look like nice books, but I hate to throw good money out the window. Thoughts or opinions??? Edited August 10, 2013 by clovis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDO Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Check out his website: www.hyperscale.com Also look for reviews on book seller websites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clovis Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Thank you for the reply!!! I had no idea that he was affiliated with hyperscale. A cool website...but I wish there were more 'how to' topics. I am way behind on the learning curve! Great idea on the book reviews!!!

clovis Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 FWIW, I ordered a copy of the Brett Green modelling book. This is the hardcover version with 190+ pages. I saw the book in the Smithsonian Air & Space museum gift shop. We were in a crazy rush before they closed, and I had the book in my hands for literally 3 seconds. I thought it looked interesting, but had no chance to look it over. I found a copy on the bay for just $16 shipped. Again, thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clovis Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 I received the book...it is very good. While I have read the entire book yet, I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to improve their modelling skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
