I just got this book off Amazon and its freaking great. It was just published and has 100s of large color pictures. You experts probably won't get much out of it, but its great for noobs. It walks you through each process of building a model. It takes you through sanding and painting and has large color photos of what the car should look like after each step. Also describes engine detail step by step. Perfect for those like me, who are have no idea what the hell their doing. :bricks1:

BTW: I'm not a book salesman, just trying pass on some good info.

Yeah, I just noticed the publishing date too (March 31). I didn't notice that when I ordered it. I just ordered it and it came 3 days later. Must be magic. :grinyes:
