Many aspects of railway modelling are the same whatever scale you choose, but N Gauge has particular benefits: namely, that there is more space for scenery, longer trains and extensive fiddle yards. This leads to specific challenges in the design and layout to ensure a realistic-looking model. Assuming some familiarity with the basics of N Gauge, this book provides guidance and instruction to extend and develop modelling skills to produce a layout that is scenically impressive: planning baseboards, integrating scenery with the backscene, and keeping everything in harmony. With over 250 colour photographs, it includes constructing baseboards and scenery; how to make models of real buildings; using different systems for moving vehicles and controlling them; building, painting and finishing rolling stock from kits and, finally, what is needed to make a successful exhibition layout and how to perform demonstrations.

Le Grimoire d'Askaryl est une saga epique qui se deroule dans le monde d'Hamnasya.

Dans ce second volet, vous allez devoir commencer par vous rendre au plus profond du Temple des Larmes, afin d'empecher les sbires d'Asylus de s'emparer de la Jarre Maudite de Yorghash. Et, si vous survivez a cette premiere epreuve, votre quete vous conduira ensuite dans les contrees du sud d'Hamnasya, la ou se situe le fief de l'Archimage.

The Second World War Jeep was one of the most famous and influential military vehicles of all time, and over 600,000 were produced. It served with all the Allied forces during the war on every front and it has been the inspiration behind the design of light, versatile, rugged military and civilian vehicles ever since. In this, the first volume in Pen & Sword's LandCraft series, Lance Cole traces the design, development and manufacturing history of the Jeep and describes its operational role within the Allied armies. A selection of archive photographs showing the Jeep in service in European and Pacific campaigns gives a graphic impression of how adaptable the Jeep was and records the variety of equipment it could carry. The book is an excellent source for the modeller, providing details of available kits, together with specially commissioned colour profiles recording how the Jeeps used by different units and armies appeared. Lance Cole's introduction to the Jeep is necessary reading and reference for enthusiasts and modellers.

Razones personales y una pronta emigracion en 1974, me hicieron perder practicamente el contacto con el mundo damistico de competicion. Fue el gran maestro Harm Wiersma, quien me sugirio introducir el juego universal en Espana. Este proyecto supuso para mi un autentico revulsivo de trabajo, y asi comence a estudiar en primer lugar las caracteristicas propias del juego espanol. La primera y principal particularidad es que se juega en el tablero de 64 casillas, el mismo empleado para la practica del ajedrez, lo que le confiere una particularidad propia Comprobe igualmente, la no existencia de clubes deportivos de damas, y finalmente que la aficion por el juego estaba desapareciendo. Ante esta situacion preferi, mas que introducir el juego universal, intentar salvar la variedad espanola del juego de damas. Surge por tanto la necesidad de una obra sencilla y atractiva para la juventud, que permita conocer el juego y facilitar de este modo el desarrollo de la capacidad intelectual del joven.
