From the front inside flap — "Vic Smeed has gathered together an experienced team of internationally known modelers and military historians, each writing on the subject he knows best. Containing more than 240 outstanding full-color illustrations, the majority specially commissioned for the book, it begins with an introduction which sets the scene and gives a brief history of modeling; this is followed by a survey of the most popular periods outlining the major characteristics from the modeling point of view and giving helpful advice on problems and research. next come chapters on basic modeling and how to put together simple kits (very helpful for beginners); single figure modeling; weapons, equipment and horses; soft-skin vehicles; armored fighting vehicles; artillery; and finally dioramas and displays."
