I covet older modeling publications for the less brand oriented level of modeling offered. This one is especially interesting in that it comes from the UK and is written on a more down-to-earth, conversational level. British modelers usually have much less available space to use and so the modeling tends to be more finely detailed and exacting---no room filling Plywood Pacific Railroads to consume large quantities of brain space, money and time.
Ahhh...the '70s were indeed a weird time for hair...
Mr. John Craven looks a lot like a kind of miniature-railway-Jackie-Chan, lol...
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome that you still have such an old magazine!
My beloved and I thought he looked kinda like a younger version of our 42nd President, Bill Clinton.
ReplyDeleteI love these old books, this one was printed in 1979. I get them from an online forum...Paperbackswap.com.
You're right... he looked more like Clinton that Jackie Chan. But now we have an idea about how a kung-fu (instead saxophone) Bill Clinton would look alike :))
