This review is from: Pro Modeler’s Handbook (Kindle Edition)
First, my rating of this tome. I say “tome”. It’s more a pamphlet than a book. I gave it one star only because Amazon doesn’t have no star ratings. This “book”(let) is so short that the normal Amazon sample is half of it.
Now, my review of this book(let). Most of the information is very general and really doesn’t get into anything that a “pro” focused booklet should. This is more a beginner’s guide. There aren’t any actual techniques discussed and no tips, either. In short, I would say that unless you are a complete beginner don’t bother with this item and even then you don’t get much for your money. I’d like my money back.
A little of the information given in this booklet will apply to scale models other than buildings but very little. So, this booklet is really focused on modellers of buildings. Typically diorama builders or model rail roaders. A little of the weathering information can be applied to vehicles and figures. But only a little.
You can get more information than this for free just by visiting some of the scale modeling websites on the Interwebs and watching YouTube videos. Google is your friend. Use it and don’t waste your cash on this item. Amazon really should drop the price to $0.99 on this one. And even then it’s a rip-off.

While the information is good, there is only ONE article about what a railroad truck looks like and the different names for the parts of the railroad truck. Not what I expected, I thought it would be more about scenery.
