I suppose that I were to stop all that I am doing I could put together a few videos of how to do this and how to do that. But, why reinvent the wheel. Besides, I know that it is important to know and understand and use other modeler's techniques in order to become a really good modeler myself. Which is why we now offer to you what I feel are some of the best constructed & well thought out videos on the market. I highly recommend that you consider each of these videos from Darryl Huffman & Scott Mason for a diversified breadth of knowledge that is very easy to follow and understand. I expect that you will watch each video over and over again. Just be sure to get yourself a notepad with plenty of paper because you will be taking a plethora of notes! Doctor Ben's gives these videos "5 Rusty Cans" (we don't do stars).
