Abteilung 502 Master Modeller Series Vol. 1 - with or Without (ABT801)

Every so often a modelling book actually shifts how you approach the bench, and Master Modeller Series Vol. 1 is one of them. Rick Lawler's "With or Without" is a 116-page, semi-hardcover guide from Abteilung 502 that sits between modelling for pleasure and modelling for work, walking through the thinking and technique that keep a hobbyist evolving rather than stuck on the same three tricks.

Best for

• Experienced modellers who've hit a plateau and want to push past it
• Anyone after the reasoning behind technique, not just the steps
• A shelf reference worth returning to between projects

Part reference, part motivation — the kind of book that has you itching to get back to the bench.

A genuinely inspiring read for serious modellers. Put its ideas to work with a set of weathering products at the bench.
