This collection of 18 unique projects for home workshop equipment enables the model engineer to create useful and even essential items that cannot be purchased commercially, including an auxiliary workbench, tap holders, distance and height gauges, a lathe back stop, a tailstock die-holder, faceplate clamps, collets, DTI accessories, sash clamps, low profile clamps and a tapping stand.

Each project is designed to make the model engineer's task in hand easier then it would have been had the items not been made.

Christopher D. King has created beautiful and detailed designs drawn from nature, from under water scenes, to forest canopies, elephants and crocodiles, to fantasy creatures. The pages echo the simple lines and intricate details to be found in plants and animals around the world for you to get lost in as you colour. With hidden animals throughout the book for eagle eyed colourers to unearth and bring to life, and a range of difficulty levels there's something for everyone to discover. Ranging from delicate and detailed designs, to simple images and patterns, and leaving lots of room for colouring outside the lines, this book provides a beautiful experience to dip into and out of when your brain, or hands, need to relax. Christopher created this book for people whose minds need a little peace every now and then.

Explanations and illustrations help anyone become a better-than-average builder flyer and competitor.

In the last few years the first person view phenomenon has taken the RC world by storm. It has brought an entirely new field to the hobby with new thrills and challenges. Despite this, FPV remains a hobby that requires a steep learning curve, significant research, a decent investment and a lot of trial and error. This book is a beginner's guide to FPV piloting. It intends to bring the reader from zero knowledge of the subject to a position where they can safely conduct FPV flights. It covers the broad range of necessary topics such as vehicle selection, control link, video link, component placement, ground station design, interference troubleshooting, and tips for successful flights. It provides photographs of commonly used equipment and schematics of typical setups - including a detailed case study on the author's own configurations. The must-have guide for any hobbyist new to the exciting world of FPV.

This book provides all the information any ship modeller interested in powering a model boat using live steam will need. It offers both the basic theory covering the steam power plant and fully detailed drawings for the construction of simple and advanced steam engines, boilers and ancillary equipment. There has been a huge growth in interest in live steam-powered model boats in recent years but modellers have endured a dearth of practical construction drawings for suitable steam plants. Here, the author covers many types of engine from simple oscillating cylinder types to piston and poppet valve engines and the application of radio control to the management of the boiler and engine. The projects (which all include detailed scale plans) include simple single cylinder oscillating engines, multiple cylinder oscillating engines, single and multiple cylindered slide valve engines, piston and poppet valve engines, boiler construction and heat sources, control units, reversing systems, radio control valves, and the mounting of engine and boiler units into model boats.
