| Subject: | Superdetailing |  |

Hi guys. I am curious, how many of you superdetail your models without using
aftermarket sets? What i mean by this is, how many of you add detail to your
mdoels with sheet styrene and other stuff? I am just curious where you
learned how to do this? Are there any good books out there on how to
superdetail? Any good website articles? Most of the stuff i see just says
things like,"I moved the position of the crew hatch over 2mm" but they never
tell you exactly how they did it, how they cut the pieces, how they put it
back together so it looked like it was there originally. So many articles
just take for granted that the reader knows how to do most of this stuff
already. I would love to know how to do the things i see on this website and
others but i just dont know where to start. What kind of tools do i need? Do
you measure everything out or do you make your different componets so just
so they look right? I am just curious where to start. Should i buy some
aftermarket conversion sets and give those a try? Would that be a good
place to start? The reason this all comes up is this: I was looking through
the old R&J Enterprises catelog i have and was loving all the diiferent
conversions they list, the Sherman with the chain mine clearing device, the
bergepanther and tiger conversions and i am just frustrated. I do not know
where to begin. Any suggestions? Thaks for listening to my rant guys!
