Reader ReviewsAn interesting book covering most aspects of planking of solid, bulkhead and frame models. It really only brushes over each subject. What it really needs is a step by step example, be it photos or diagrams, as I am yet to find an author that really does it well. You purchace a book on techniques, you expect it to be step by step, with demonstrations, not generalisations. It has good photos of wonderfully made models, but it is about planking, not showcasing a mate's work. It is a difficult subject, that could have been done so much better. Why not show differing clamps, homemade and commerical, the ways to bend the planks not a paragraph of description, demonstrate how to do the dowels, not a paragraph, that is why people buy these books, to learn.
