3mm Society Booklets
The 3mm Society is planning to publish a series of booklets about modelling in 3mm scale. They will be distributed for free to Society members but they will also be available for non-members to browse here. Our thanks go to John Sutton who was responsible for producing the first one. John has set a very high standard. Some of the products mentioned in this booklet will not be available until later this year. Watch the Price List here.
