    • This book addresses the whole subject of making small ship models that fit into bottles and getting them into the bottles and tautly rigged. This is a comparatively new skill, as such demanding crafts go. Part of the secret of getting this ships into the bottles is well placed hinges. It includes all aspects of the craft and supplies black & white, and some colour  photographs of each stage of construction, rigging, & placing the model ship in the bottle.  New Book unread but a little shopworn on the cover.

    • Another little gem from C. J. Freezer. This time concentrating on what makes a good model including history & research, stations, prototype practice, light railways, branch lines and mainlines plus locos and rolling stock. As usual with C.J's books most of the reference material is GWR biased and illustrated with his plans although most appear to be garage sized layouts.
Book is a little bit shopworn on the cover but otherwise in very good condition.

    •  Good book with lots of construction projects
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 23, 2016
Verified Purchase
Reviewer:  Good book for the Unimat user. I bought it in the hope that drawing errors for "Sweet Sixteen" traction engine would have been corrected from when it was serialised in Model Mechanics magazine. Only one, the regulator bush seems to have been amended, others are still there and there are no details of the regulator lever to steam chest attachment.  Book is new old stock unused but a little shopworn otherwise in excellent condition.
