Product Description

Review

"I defy anybody not to be fired up by the author's obvious enthusiasm..." -- Spaceflight, May 2003. "An absolute joy to dip into..." -- The Observatory, June 2003. "This book is ideal for model hobbyists, and for space history enthusiasts..." -- Astronomy Now, July 2003.

Product Description

Foreword by Sir Arthur C Clarke. Space exploration began with model and toy rockets. History shows that the greatest Rocketeers began their careers flying model rockets. Now in this book the story of the space race is told in dazzling colour. From the birth of models to the present day the toy rockets have often inspired the real rockets of the future. In fact model manufacturers like Revell and Aurora were frequently in trouble with the defence department for revealing military secrets! This is the Story of the Space Age, and uses the models to illustrate the way history twisted and turned to put us where we are today -- and maybe how space travel will develop in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Space Modelling Genius!, 5 Jan 2008

By	A. Mckeating (Forres, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beautiful book documenting the use of scale models to represent aspects of the space age. Thoughtfully presented, this large book is divided into two fascinating halves, one pictorial and one reference. The first pictorial element is crammed full of colour pictures of models, box art and illustrations, many modelled by the author himself. The latter half is an exhaustive reference to kits, manufacturers and their collectability, many of the references have black and white supporting photographs. I have had my copy of this book for some time and still keep going back to read it, whether you enjoy modelling or not, it's an excellent reference that doesn't disappoint. Mat Irvine is an extremely talented scale modeller and author, you will be inspired when you read this book.
