Are these good DVDs for learning Pro Modeling?

[Cylon-Knight]

I got my disks, and WOW, the shipping was faster than FAST!!!!

I've watched disk one my self, and now I'm ready to make half a Galactica ... lol ... just kidding. But really, I did learn A LOT. My fav thing so far is "pick points" I didn't know a ship had so many and how smootly they are all hidden! One thing I don't have / not sure if I'd get one anytime soon is a pressure pot for the casting stuff. A small vac former I'm very interested in making. Casting seems to be too much for me as of yet.

I am not totally sure about a direct pour vs the "spru" (spelling?) method of casting. The when/why one would be better or not. Direct pour seemed so much more easy. I guess spru is better for mostly hollow stuff?

I can't wait to watch DVD 2, will start it tonight!
