Synopsis
Duncan Howarth has been modeling military vehicles for years. But he started to find the range of models offered by the kit manufacturers restricting - there were so many unusual and interesting prototypes that he wanted to model, but couldn't. So he began to use ordinary kits as the bases of increasingly adventurous conversions. With the help of drawings and photographs, parts are made to create new variants of existing models and, sometimes, almost completely new models, using just a few components from a donor kit. This book guides the reader through a series of increasingly complex conversions based on readily available kits of World War Two types, and culminates in a magnificent model of the Vomag self-propelled gun built entirely from scratch. Each build is accompanied by drawings, prototype photographs and photocopyable templates which will allow you to build the conversion yourself. The book also gives you the know-how to undertake new and different conversions of your own.

Review
Internet Modeler, November 2007
“Model builder Duncan Howarth offers his years of experience creating unusual vehicle models not offered from kit manufacturers. He uses ordinary kits as a basis for his conversions and instructs you on how to do your own. He includes wonderful photographs, some in step-by-step sequence, and scaled templates / diagrams breaking down the subassemblies needed to create the conversions. From assembly through painting and weathering you will learn to do it yourself.”
