The rigging of period ship models is the most complex task which
any modeller has to take on, for an eighteenth-century man-of-war
boasted mile on mile of rigging, more than 1,000 blocks, and acres
of canvas. To reduce this in scale, and yet retain an accurate
representation, is an awesome undertaking. This now classic work
untangles the complex web, and, using some 400 drawings, the author
shows clearly how each separate item of rigging is fitted to the
masts, yards and sails. Each drawing deals with only one particular
item so that it can be seen clearly in isolation. The lead of a
particular halliard, the arrangement of a bracing line, these and
every other detail is depicted with startling clarity. Based on the
author's research of numerous eighteenth-century models, each one
with its contemporary rigging still extant, the information is both
meticulous and accurate. The remarkable visual immediacy and
clarity of this work makes it truly unique and no modeller of
period ships can afford to be without it at his side. In addition,
the book is a 'must-have' practical reference work for all those
involved in the rigging and repair of historic ships.

Dinky Toys must be one of the most successful and collectable toys
ever made. These delightfully stylish photographs feature models
from the golden age of the Dinky toy - an era that will be
remembered fondly by every post-war baby-boomer, both men and
women. Now the subject of serious interest from collectors
worldwide many of these models have re-emerged as highly
collectable, often selling at very high prices. But the toys that
feature here are neither pristine or shiny. Collected over the
years by photographer Kim Sayer, their charm is in the chips, dents
and worn paint work - toys that have been played with and loved.
His affection for them is obvious, as each model is given its own
delightful setting, reflecting a more gentle and innocent
era.Visual puns abound - the Landrover, "a fine model of a vehicle
designed to go anywhere and do anything" climbs its way up a
staircase, whilst the Avro York Airliner takes off from the ironing
board, and an open-top sports car zooms along fighting the gale
force winds of an electric fan. Many of the photographs also play
off against the original marketing tagline used to sell the models:
'Just look at the remarkable detail on this exciting model of
Britain's famous centurion tank. It is a welcome reinforcement for
the playroom army.' 'Here is a fine new model, the Humber Police
Patrol Car containing uniformed driver and patrolman.' These are
wonderful photographs that will appeal to all ages - particularly
to those who will remember their days of short trousered bliss
crawling about on the floor for hours on end, their imaginations
fired by the splendour of their Dinky toys.
