This book does a good job talking about the history of gundam and gunpla, and a descent job talking about the different steps, products, and chemistry. The major downside on this is that I feel like it is a little bit assumed that the modeler understands these terminology and have a general concept before reading this book. I would think that this book is between beginners and intermediate. Some of the steps are somewhat jumped a little too fast to conclude a certain process that should be explained a little further. There are about 4-5 gundam builds if I remember correctly, and it shows the steps of different model builders. This leaves the learner a bit confused as to which process he/she should do. I think that if there was one build of one gundam, and each step is discussed a lot more thoroughly, then the learner will feel a lot more comfortable. I just feel like each modeler here tried to pitch in to this book and show their works to be recognized.



If there is another book, I don't know if I would buy it and if I do, I hope it makes an improvement in not rushing. Don't get me wrong, I had a descent fun time reading it and it is somewhat informative (i'm probably around advanced level) but I didn't feel like the book was complete.
