MODELERS ART OF PATTERN MAKING ILLUSTRATED GUIDE
The art of pattern making as it relates to model building is of the utmost importance. For every item the model engineer desires to build, there may not be a pattern available.
That as most certainly the case more often than not in the early part of the 1900's. Therefore, the model artists of that time needed to learn the skill themselves.
This is a superbly written and illustrated guide for the model-maker and describes the processes of pattern making from that era.
While some of the work does require machining, even a novice should be able to accomplish this with practice.
Whether you are a proficient model maker or a beginner, you will want to add this document to your digital library!
