When I first announced our next title, Building NATO’s LanceR in 1/48 Scale by Chuck Wojtkiewicz, I was pretty certain I’d be able to complete the first draft by the end of March. Well, clearly I’ve failed! Life has deigned to intervene and throw a few distractions and stumbling blocks in my general direction. But never fear! The project continues to receive daily attention, and is developing quite nicely with more than 150 pages done. With luck, we’ll be looking good for the end of April! Stay tuned for more updates.

Do I have your attention yet?
Work will begin on the book shortly, and we’re hoping for a release early next month.
No sooner had my head hit the pillow after publishing yesterday’s v2.0 update to Building Race #80 Spitfire Mk XIVe in 1/18 Scale, I began to fret that I might have missed something. And after a sleepless night of worry and stress, it turns out I was right. So, now we have v2.1!
For details about the update, I’ll simply refer you to yesterday’s post regarding v2.0:

Another day, another book update! This time it’s Peter Castle’s masterpiece, Building Race #80 Spitfire Mk XIVe in 1/18 Scale getting a full v2.0 refresh. I’ve tweaked almost every one of its (now) 573 pages, and am ready for a nap. The changes are mostly typography and layout improvements, so there’s no additional content, but I’d recommend all existing purchasers update their copy all the same.

I’m pleased to announce that our very first title (released way back in July of 2017), Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale by Eric Galliers, has been given a comprehensive makeover, and bumped up to v2.0! We’ve completely revised the layout on some pages, and tweaked almost all the others, along with some typographical tidy-ups and general spit-and-polish. The price remains at 15 Australian dollars.
Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale
Written by master modeller Eric Galliers, this 123-page digital book shows you how he built his award-winning 1/32 scale model of K.J. “Brick” Bricknell’s CAC Sabre. Using the Italeri 1/32 scale F-86F kit as a basis, Eric modifies it to the Avon-powered configuration employed by CAC-built RAAF Sabres, to produce an exquisite replica of Brick’s Sabre as he flew it in 1963.

So, barely 24 hours after the release of a revamped Version 2.0 of Building Mac’s Birddog in 1/32 Scale, we now have v2.1! This release not only fixes a typo in one of the Walkaround captions, but also adds some extended information about the photo in question, courtesy of Rob Fox. A couple of other minor tweaks have also been applied.
Building Mac’s Birddog in 1/32 Scale
Written by master modeller Eric Galliers, this 177-page digital book shows you how he built his award-winning 1/32 scale model of Macaulay “Mac the FAC” Cottrell’s Cessna O-1 Birddog. Using the Roden 1/32 scale kit as a basis, Eric modifies it to represent Mac’s Birddog as he flew it in Vietnam in 1968.

This book is one of our oldest, being the second title we published, way back in 2017. We felt it was time to freshen it up a bit. The layout has been fully audited, and many pages have been completely revised to bring them in line with our more recent publications.
And as some of you may be aware, on 26 January this year, Mac was the deserved recipient of an OAM (Medal of the Order of Australia), as part of the Governor General’s Australia Day honours. We’ve included this latest update to Mac’s storied career in the book, including a full transcript of the award text.
Congratulations, Mac!
