don't think so, certainly no paper racing cars. perhaps when the fourth book arrives. BTW, the most I paid for those 4 books was $6. I think the costs were $1, $2, $3, $6 for the books. I highly reccommend: http://www.abebooks.com for your used books. good prices, low shipping prices...

I've got 3 of the 4 books mentioned in this thread and the fourth on its way. the family craft book is exactly the one pictured here, and the sub was also in the book about modelling boats, along with the tugboat, a sailboat, and a cruise ship. this book is my favorite so far. very clever...

ok, my vacation is coming up, so I need some models to work on while Im away, and this one will be one of them I'm predicting. To that end I even went so far as to color it: http://jleslie48.com/ud/pgc02.jpg http://jleslie48.com/ud/pgc03.jpg I hope it works.

yup, thats the book I just got. cost me $1 plus $2.50 for shipping. I think the steamboat has some potential as an origami/paper model as well. I just ordered the other three books now as well.

the only success I've had is following this procedure: http://home.comcast.net/%7Ecarapace2/ThreadAssemblies.htm I made my formers out of corrugated, and used cotton thread that I painted with watered down elmers glue, many coats.

looks great. this is a fun model. thanks trader sam!!!

ok, here's the bottom hull half finished, quite literally. ;) I ran into a fit problem on the hull to the keel: (click on link below for enlarged pics) I see from the build pics here that I ran into the same issue as you did, the hull is coming up short based on the keel. I...

don't know, bought it sight unseen online. I'll let you know when I get it. same title and authors though. If its wrong, I'll bill ya...

this submarine looks a lot like the x-craft midget submarines: http://www.bismarck-class.dk/other_craft_involved/british_ships_involved/submarines/pictures/x_craft_03.jpg http://www.pit-road.jp/cs/cs10.jpg http://www.one35th.com/model/book_image/rb_midget.jpg

I'd say! just bought the book of family crafts for $1 from abebooks.com I'll wait to see what I get before ordering the others.

oh man, now I'm totally hooked anybody know more about this book, title author?

count me as a vote to publish, she looks neat!

I've experimented with this: I think it would make a great black pearl. more pics: http://jleslie48.com/blackpearl/

ahhh!!! I hadn't looked that carefully at the directions. thanks!!!

this is an excellent WIP picture story of a build. a great beginners guide. thanks. did you splice the fore mast back together? Looks like your going with an undamaged build rather than the as released version of a crashed foremast.

actually converting a kayak into a yamato would be quite funny....

you know, I would just take those photos of yours and paste them directly on the model. I would print the sheets 2x, and laminate the raised sections onto the build for a 3d effect. done.

before the flood, you go to the showroom and then to the games to get to the button about the build your own. no models yet.

heres another view: what book is it in? I was given that copy as a xerox from a historian.

one of my first designs was an lsm for my Father In Law who served on one during WWII: alas is was a one of, but maybe this will give you an idea of how I (and you) did it: I literally cut up the 3 view and built the model. the side views had to stretched by 10% to get the wrap...
