Product Description
This highly illustrated guide to assembling, detailing and customizing model cars presents ten chapters covering plastic model kits ranging from muscle cars to lowriders, race cars, hot rods and pickups. Each project addresses a different set of techniques representing skill levels that grow more advanced as the book progresses, from assembling and painting a muscle car right out of the box to building a hot rod complete with fuel lines and plug wires. The step-by-step photos illustrate all of the skills and techniques described. Terry Jessee's writing has appeared in Boy's Life, Scale Model Enthusiast and several other magazines. He is also the author of MBI's "Hot Rod Model Kits."

5 out of 5 stars Build and Detail Model Cars Like a Pro, by Terry Jessee   April 25, 2006
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Great for all skill levels from the first-time model builder to the advanced hobbyist, this book is very concisely written and illustrated. In an easy to follow manner, author Terry Jesse, shows how to use very simple techniques to achieve outstanding results when building model cars.
While primarily aimed at 1/24- 1/25 plastic kit construction, Build and Detail Like a Pro details techniques that apply to all model car building, including die-cast and resin/multimedia model cars.
I highly recommend this book, becase it is absolutely filled with great tips for building miniature cars. I have read this book at least five times and always find something new to use in my own projects. Having built model cars for over 30 years I wish that I would have had a resource book like this long ago.

Terry Jessee puts in easy to understand terms how to create beutiful models using a number of techniques that can make modeling a hobby for young and old very enjoyable. I got into modeling as a hobby my nine year old son and I could do together. This book gave both of us alot of ideas and enjoyment together. If you have children or even grandchildren get ths book, A couple of models,And enjoy.
