Here's a really useful book for beginners in building Gundam kits that pretty much covers all the basic techniques in properly building and painting a Gundam model kit. The book contains three chapters: first chapter covers the basic techniques from how to properly cut off parts from the sprues, applying decals, using Gundam Markers and Top Coat, while the second chapter teaches the reader how to make your Gundam kit even cooler by showing more advance techniques in sanding, drilling, and adding more panel lines to your kits, as well as various paint brushing, spraying, and weathering techniques, and finally the third chapter lists out important tools and materials that any model kit builder should have on the modeling workbench, and explains each item as well as its usage and price. This is the definitive book that every beginner model kit builder should have and refer to all the time in order to improve one's modeling skills!
