Tamiya Book

I just finished reading ‘Master Modeler: Creating the Tamiya Style’. I would recommend this book to any modeller out there. It takes a look at the hobby from a macro perspective and outlines all the work needed to make a successful plastic model. Has anyone else read this book?

I haven’t read that specific book, but I have read mnay of the books released over here by other makers and pro-Modellers.

Most of them seem to be really good.

I’ve read this one, too, and would recommend it. Very interesting stuff.

Where can I find a copy? How much? Any catalog numbers, authors, publishers, etc. to help in the search?

Thanks.

Well, if you go to amazon.com , they are selling this book for USD 24.50 plus shipping.
I think even for europeans the total will be less then USD 35.00
