Science, Nature & How It Works

Examines the history of human space flight, from the development of early rockets to the flight of SpaceShipOne, the first privately funded human space flight, and possible future directions that space travel may take.

Race into Space (Humans in Space, 3)

Return to the Moon (Humans in Space, 4)

From 1969 to 1972, NASA's Apollo program focused on putting a man on the Moon. After that goal was reached, the space program switched gears and concentrated on other areas of exploration and research. What if we were to return to the Moon today? Would advances in technology make it possible for people to live on the Moon? Return to the Moon asks and answers many questions about future space travel to it and its possible colonization. Topics include - rockets to the Moon and commercial passenger transportation - the history of the Moon - overcoming obstacles such as zero gravity in order to build on the Moon - what technology would be required for people to live in zero gravity

History

Written by renowned modelling expert and TV visual effects designer Mat Irvine, the Model Builders' Manual provides a practical guide for both novice and experienced model builders, showing how to obtain professional results, with a focus on plastic model kits. In addition to the practicalities of building models, this introduction to modelling covers the history of how the modern kit industry developed, how a model kit is designed, the range of tools and paints available to build models, the origins and variety of the various scales, collecting models and model clubs. Practical coverage includes details of basic building techniques, painting and spraying, decals and dioramas, plus techniques associated with predominantly plastic-based hobby kits such as white metal, photo-etch and resin components.

Model Builders' Manual: A practical introduction to building plastic model construction kits (Enthusiasts' Manual)

Haynes Publishing, UK

Cars have always appealed as model subjects as - unlike airplanes or military subjects - the real thing is likely to be sitting outside the modeler's house. From the first car kits produced in the early 1950s, mainly dominated by American machinery, we now have a choice of automotive examples from around the world. The joint scale of 1:24/1:25 dominates car models, and it is these scales that will mostly be found in this book, from stock builds to race cars to wild customs.

Scale Car Modelling

Crowood Pr

Here Mat Irvine shares his wealth of knowledge of techniques for building plastic model cars that produce a degree of realism unachievable ‘straight from the box’. All types of automobile are covered: vintage and veteran, classic sports cars, single-seat racers, American cars from the fifties and sixties, pickups, vans, dragsters, hot rods, customs, four-whell-drives, and the most modern cars. Illustrated with over 240 colour photographs, this book not only provides a treasure trove of useful techniques and tips, but also offers a fascinating insight into the hobby, its past and future.
