- Hot
Rod Pin-ups - For as long as young men have been channeling,
chopping, and hopping up rods and customs, women-whether loyal
girlfriends or trouble-seeking 'bad girls'-have been integral
to the scene. In this unique portfolio evoking great 1950s pin-up
artists like Vargas and Elvgren,
talented photographer David Perry depicts models in and out of
cherry-picked rods and customs and wearing painstakingly chosen
period dress and hairstyles. More than 100 photos present these
modern-day pin-ups under three themes: Garage, Cruising, and Race.
In addition, essays explore each topic and are accompanied by
pulp novel covers, period mags, and ads that place the photography
in a historical context.

- Finishing
Scale Ship Models: Detailing And Painting Techniques
- As
every modeler knows, one of the most difficult aspects of ship
modeling is the painting and fine detailing. According to the
author of this book, Tom Gorman, who is one of the most highly
respected modelers in the profession, it’s what separates
the good from the "also ran." For those struggling to
put the final touches on their scale ship models, this new manual
will come as a godsend. Profusely illustrated in both color
and black and white, the book first takes on the painting
of models, outlining techniques for both wood and plastic and
then addressing the different approaches needed for hulls and
superstructures, decks and fittings. He describes all the equipment
needed and tells how to prepare the surfaces and apply the sealing
and priming coats, and explains brushwork, spraying, air-brushing,
and varnishing. The second part of the book deals with the fittings
and explains how to make lifeboats, rafts, and carley floats,
and tells how to make all the deck machinery and hull fittings,
funnels and masts, as well as anchors and bollards, among other
things. Whether you are a modeler aspiring to competition status
or at the early stage of your career, the wealth of practical
information provided in this manual will help transform your model
to the highest standards and should find a place on every modeler’s
workbench.
