Model Restoration
This part of my website explains how to go about restoring a model step by step. It is split into various sections to make it easier for you to follow.
The first few sections cover the basic stripping, paint removal, repainting
and reassembly of a simple model.
The later sections cover more advanced processes and techniques required for
more advanced restorations.
I have done my best to explain each stage to its full extent but - I am not a writer and sometimes it can be difficult for me to explain a complete process. If there are any parts that you do not understand or that you need further clarification on you are welcome to email me with questions. My email is shown on the contact page which is accessible through the index frame on the left of your screen. (If you have found this page from a search engine you may not be able to view the index.
