As requested - this is the first in a new series for new modellers or inexperienced guys looking to improve. A quick look at the basic core techniques behind getting the model right, before the paint goes on, to improve the finish of the model.
Getting a nice, clean, smooth surface finish BEFORE you paint the model is the key to being able to get a perfect paint finish. If the plastic underneath is rough and cut up then no paintjob will cover it up.
This video also covers the basic tools for construction.
