Thanks for those — the model engineering books aren’t really up my street, but the two by Chris Ellis look like good ones to try and add to my collection of old handbooks.

You’re welcome. I’m a big fan of hardcopy print. I know it takes up space and gets heavy if you move often so I just try to not move often

Hints and tips for plastic modeling from IPMS/USA
My buddy was heavily into aircraft model building so I tried to get in to it too but didn’t really take off
This one illustrates how to make operable hinges for folding wings.

I got this one used back around 1991 or 1992. Has some interesting stuff in it for having been written in 1970.

I found and ordered the two Chris Ellis books you mentioned, once I’ve read them I’ll add short reviews for them here as well.
