"The History of Resin Transport Modelling" A Who's Who in the Industry
Following the very successful publication of "A History of White Metal Transport Modelling", David Wright has responded to popular demand, seeking the other half of the international model story - the resin world.
"The History of Resin Transport Modelling" is therefore the companion volume, and David has sought out over 170 contributors, this time many from France, Italy, Netherlands and eastern European countries, who between them portray a colourful picture of how resin kits were first developed, and transformed into current day miniatures. Producers from Japan and Australia, Russia and Romania, together with the USA and UK make this book a truly international reference work.
A versatile medium such as resin has taken David's research into slot racing, military and armour, as well as heavy haulage, buses, land speed record and racing cars.
David has adopted a similar format to the first book, with chapters on each group of producers, a timeline appendix, and a focus firmly on the people behind the models. This time, Ray Strutt, organiser of the ModeleX exhibitions, has written the foreword. Amazingly, the book is 268 pages long, the same as the white metal book, and retail at £24.95.
