Model flying is a challenging and exciting hobby as well as a
recognized international sport. The broad principles of flight as
applied in full-size aviation are just as important to flying
models, but these principles are not always recognized or
understood fully by aeromodellers. Written specifically with
aeromodellers in mind, Model Planes: Aerofoils and Wings is a
practical guide to the aerodynamic principles of the 'aerofoil' and
the way that wings produce lift, which is vital to establishing
flight. Included are over forty ready-to-use aerofoil sections in a
range of typical sizes, together with a detailed method of plotting
these sections on a home computer, using Excel or a similar
software. A comprehensive glossary provides clear explanations of
the modelling terminology used, and diagrams illustrate key
principles and themes. Written by a distinguished aerospace
engineer with a passion for modelling, this comprehensive volume is
perfect for the enthusiastic aeromodeller, whether starting out or
looking to hone their craft.

The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich houses the largest
collection of scale ship models in the world, many of which are
official, contemporary artifacts made by the craftsmen of the navy
or the shipbuilders themselves, and ranging from the mid
seventeenth century to the present day. As such they represent a
three-dimensional archive of unique importance and authority.
Treated as historical evidence, they offer more detail than even
the best plans, and demonstrate exactly what the ships looked like
in a way that even the finest marine painter could not achieve.
This book is one of a series that takes a selection of the best
models to tell the story of specific ship types - in this case, the
various classes of warship that fought in the First World War, from
dreadnoughts to coastal motor boats. It reproduces a large number
of model photos, all in full color, and including many close-up and
detail views. These are captioned in depth, but many are also
annotated to focus attention on interesting or unusual features.
Although pictorial in emphasis, the book weaves the pictures into
an authoritative text, producing an unusual and attractive form of
technical history.
Model kits of houses and buildings can be fun and a creative way to
bring a story to life in a small setting. You can use them with any
form of modeling. From dioramas, to cars that need a garage, to
aircraft that need a hanger or tower. Buildings of some kind are an
essential part of the modeling experience and hobby. They turn a
stand alone model into something that tells a story. This book is
useful for scenic train modeling, architectural modeling, diorama
models, or just stand alone projects. If you've never built a
building before, this book is a perfect way to get started on
creating your own favorite diner or famous house. Best of all, it's
fun
Been working hard to get the new "pictorial" issue done. Not really
a contest coverage issue, but a scrapbook of how-tos and feature
cars that didn't fit in the pages of Model Car Builder magazine.
Highlights include Steve Hinson in our "Builder's Gallery," A
how-to on sectioning, detailing a Revell 1/16th scale dragster, and
my table top coverage of this year's model car contest from the
Grand National Roadster Show and Pleasanton Goodguys show. Plus
several more cool feature cars.
