    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis book invites kids to expand their imaginations more than ever before, with eight unique themes ranging from popular vehicles and practical projects, to imaginative fairytale fun and a thrilling spy mission. This time around, Sarah includes chapters for mini projects and LEGO art, both of which have been popular categories on her blog but never explored in her previous books. Younger kids can follow along with the simple step-by-step instructions that have made Dees's books the success they are today-they'll delight in making tiny zoos with unique animals, a classic diner complete with a soda fountain and a school classroom they can customize to look like their own. Older children will love building such action-packed pieces as a rescue mission helicopter, an air hockey table, and a surveillance car with rear-hinged getaway doors. For LEGO lovers of any age, there are instructions for making your own around-the-house gadgets, such as desk organizers, picture frames, and even lock-and-key safes. The Big Book of Amazing Lego Creations will be a top gift pick for every kid who craves variety in their LEGO crafting. If your kids would be excited to build epic kingdoms one day and sprawling super-spy headquarters the next, this is the book for you.

  • Workshop Construction

    Special Interest Model Books Workshop Construction

    Book SynopsisSome years ago the author, Jim Forrest, a professional engineer and model engineer of many years' experience, needed a purpose-built and relatively inexpensive workshop for his hobby. After discussing this need with Peter Jennings, a professional architect familiar with system build construction, a three-metre wide design was developed which proved to be very easy to build and easily the match for far more expensive types of building. This book was written as a complete work on the construction methods used. It not only contains the details required to build the floor assembly, walls and roof, but also covers all of the peripheral areas including layout, planning regulations, tools, materials, fitting out, security and insurance. The design is easily adaptable and most variants are covered including several floor types, lean-to construction etc., and illustrative drawings are used extensively to show precisely how the building is detailed.Table of ContentsPlanning and Design. Statutory Regulations. Tools and Materials. Groundworks and Rainwater Drains. Base and Floor. Walls and Roof. Variants. Fitting Out. Security. Insurance Matters. Tables and Data.

    Book SynopsisA comprehensive guide to the use of expanded plastic foam materials in aircraft modelling. This manual quickly takes the newcomer to foam building techniques up to expert level. Foam is a relatively recent addition to the range of materials used to make model aeroplanes, and many modellers are still not familiar with the necessary information and techniques. The author describes the choice of foam, the materials for strengthening and covering, and tools and glues to create not only wings and fuselages, but also cowlings, mouldings and much more besides. This revised edition of David Thomas's book has been extensively updated by Sid King, who has a wide experience of foam modelling and foam component fabrication, both as a hobbyist and commercially. Many new tricks and techniques are included, plus the latest information on the many new materials currently used. The book contains a wealth of useful information for new projects and repairs, and scratch-building from foam.Table of ContentsBasics. Tools, Templates. Cutting Foam Cores. Wing Skinning. Further Skinning Techniques. Alternative Wing Covering. GRP Skins. Laser Method. Joining Wing Panels. Fuselages. Other Uses. Repairs. Aerofoils.
