kandc_au Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Received the book last week. Well produced and illustrated with a wealth of photos of both the real thing and models. Covers: History of Rural buildings Making a Start...research, photos, working Drawings Constructing a Model Painting Weathering and Finishing S.etting Your Model in the Landscape Projects...Scratchbuilding 3 Rural Buildings Improving Kits and Off the Shelf Models Colour Reference Guide Suppliers Further Info Index I am finding the book quite informative....especially given I don't live in the UK. Info is easy to read, with easy explanations given how to represent things. The guide to paint colours is invaluable. The 3 Rural Buildings projects are... Rural farmhouse, Devon (cob) Thatched Cottage and Derelect Limestone Field Barn Certainly compliments other structure books I have and well worth buying in my opinion.

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted June 2, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2013 Khris Pleased to see that this book is now available. I have known David for a number of years and he has done work for our local club. He was demonstrating his building techniques at the Derby show last month and was most disappointed that the book was stuck on a 'slow boat from China' and wasn't going to arrive in time for his local show - all he had was his author's proof copy for visitors to look at. Have you seen his website - there are also two DVDs available to show you how to follow his ideas. http://www.dovedalemodels.co.uk/ Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
