5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for beginners and intermediate skilled modellers,
By BSergeev (Denver, CO, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Radio Control Foam Modelling (Paperback)
Even though the book was written in Europe (it refers to some materials, which are hard to find in the U.S.), its quite useful and well written. I consider myself an experienced scratch builder, but I found a lot of useful information, building techniques, and construction ideas in this book. Highly recommend to everybody using foam in the airplane construction.

Radio Control Foam Modelling,
By Rodolfo M. Nieto (Oceanside, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Radio Control Foam Modelling (Paperback)
Thank you NEXUS Special Interest Books (UK) for putting this book back in circulation. If anyone is even thinking about building their first Foamie, this book is a must, for it will answer your basic questions on the "dos and don't" about FOAM, a very well though out book for any modeller's first Foam aeroplane.. Thank You David Thomas, Sid King

Fascinating book of highly practical techniques,
By
This review is from: Radio Control Foam Modelling (Paperback)
Even though I just bought this book (not from Amazon), my edition appears to be the 1999 one, not 2000. At any rate, the book is really excellent. What impressed me most was the simple design of the tools employed, from the hot wire cutter to the vacuum bagger, all appear to be buildable from stuff at the local auto parts store, junkyard, and hardware store. Things like a cheap auto battery charger, old refrigerator compressor, etc. Nothing exotic.
Not only that, but after describing how to build wings from templates, he gives an explanation of how to draw the templates, with details on a half-dozen popular wing shapes. Like everything else in the book, he takes you through it step-by-step, leaving nothing out. Overall, I think this must be one of the best "how to" books I've ever read.
