clovis Posted August 10, 2013 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
LDO Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Check out his website: www.hyperscale.com Also look for reviews on book seller websites
clovis Posted August 11, 2013 Author 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 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!!!
clovis Posted August 19, 2013 Author 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.
