THE THRILL IS GONE. Your two most recent kits lie unfinished, gathering dust. Your problems seem insurmountable: Trouble with painting, decal-ing, or weathering leads to frustration, and frustration leads to putting the model aside. Even worse, anticipating similar problems for the next project may prevent you from starting. Your dreams of display cases full of attractive models to show to your friends, children, and grandchildren evaporate. You even consider taking up golf — now that's frustration! But help is on the way. You enroll in FineScale Modeler's Finishing School, where the faculty promises to help you overcome your finishing frustrations. The course work won't be easy, and you'll have to pay attention, but it's a correspondence course, and you can proceed at your own pace. The purpose of FSM's Finishing School is not to make you a prizewinning modeler, but a competent, confident, and contented modeler. The course will concentrate on finishes — paints, decals, and the final touches in creating attractive models. Advanced topics like superdetailing, conversions, customizing, or scratchbuilding won't be discussed — the goal is to show you techniques to produce good-looking models without a lot of work and worry. Once you've mastered these skills, you'll be able to complete every model, every time, and enjoy the hobby more, too.
