Condition: Fair. At one time, assembling model kit cars was considered a childish hobby. Today, however, it is an adult activity with a vast following around the world. Subsequently, a large cottage industry has developed to supply the demands of modellers who want more than kit manufacturers can supply. Written in an easy-to-read style, this book's chapters address each of the following:-- A history of the model car industry-- The practicalities of modelling, from assembling a basic kit to super-detailing (i.e., adding engine wiring, brake lines, and "chrome")-- Painting and finishing-- Creating dioramas-- Renovating old kits and collecting rare onesAlthough Mat Concentrates on the most popular 1:25 and 1:32 scales, all of the information included is relevant to other scales.
