A must-have for the serious modeller April 23, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Since Mr. Wingrove is one of the most famous master modellers this book is a must-have for everyone trying to start or improve a similar craft.
The book provides very clear steps in achieving this and just overflows with ideas and solutions. Personally I wish I would have purchased this book, and volume 2, years ago. Volume 1 explains how to start and undertake the project of creating a car model but should be accompanied by the second book from Mr. Wingrove. Both volumes complete each other in many ways where the second volume goes into the tools required and also deals with 1 complete car model project, being the Bugatti Royale. Highly Recommended!
A Good Reference Book for Advanced Modellers October 3, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Hello,I have been building models since my youth and I built difficult models from Pocher of Italy and Revival.This book mostly covers the cars of the classic era and it has drawings and sidewievs of the models mentioned.The book is mostly black and white but it has a section of coloured pictures of the built models
All of the drawings are good,in scale and the techniques and descriptions are excellent .The author uses some custom made special tools which are not able to get from the market but I think they were described in the book 'Unimat Lathe Projects: A Beginners Guide to the Lathe and How to Make Ten Useful Tools' from the same author 0904568202.I did not find that book yet and no guarantees.
I will recommend this book for the advanced modellers who has scratch building skills and able to use multiple machines lathe,drill press and materials,plastic,wood,brass,leather etc..I hope these will help
