Don't Bother!,

This review is from: Building Antique Model Cars in Wood (Paperback)
The only reason I gave this book the 2nd star is because of the photos. Many details left out, Materials list doesn't correspond to detail specifics. Many inaccurate dimensions. Assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired. All this applies to what is supposedly the easiest model to construct.Add this to the differences between the actual car and the model design and you'll quickly realized you've wasted your money

This review is from: Building Antique Model Cars in Wood (Paperback)
I like the way the author uses wood and brass to build his models. These early cars really look nice when done up this way. If you are interested in building models such as these, the author gives you a some good tips and some unique ways of getting the results shown in the beautiful photographs. He also tells you what tools you will need .There are some errors in the drawings as stated by a previous reviewer but the author gives his email and most errors can be worked around using the pictures and doing a little research on the real car.

detailed plans but the title is misleading as all plans involve the use of brass as well as wood which needs to be turned shaped etc
