good books

[RocketSilo]

Hi addicts ,
I was on amazon today looking at modeling ..stuff.
I noticed that there are tons of books on scale modeling, so I want to get a couple.

what would be a couple must have intermediate books on building and finishing I should look in to ?

I can airbrush alright, but could use a good one on airbrushing/weathering.

as far as building, I concentrate alot on real space models and aircraft so I guess a good aircraft and/or armor book would be good as the military stuff covers alot of techniques.

there is not much on real space model specific books that I can find
however it would be nice to have some good books around to read/learn from

(I'm also interested in any magazines that modelers prefer)

thanks

This one is a classic: http://www.amazon.com/How-Build-Dioramas-Sheperd-Paine/dp/0890241953/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1296323670&sr=8-3-spell

I have it and use it every once in a while for tips. It's a good read.

This one is ok too: http://www.amazon.com/Terrain-Modelling-Masterclass-Richard-Windrow/dp/1841760625/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c - Again lots of good ideas in there.

I have this one too: http://www.amazon.com/How-Build-Sci-Fi-Model-Spacecraft/dp/1580070647/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1296323751&sr=1-4 - It's decent.
