Micks Modelling Website : Hints & Tips

Modelling Hints 'N' Tips and How To!

In the past on forums and at shows, I have been asked the same question "How did you do that?".

So after some thought and a chat with a couple of my friends from forums and at the club, I decided to create this section on my website. It will be a general hints & tips area, some of which you might already know about. But I am also including tutorials on some of the methods that I use when building some of my models. There is going to be downloadable versions of some of the tutorials that will be added to the corresponding pages at a later time.

So just click onto the images below for the article that you would like to view.
