Problem with the wiki is that its not portable as an e-book would be.

Fishcarver - what do you have in mind and have you got the bases for anything - ideas etc?

Chris: Initially, my idea is to see" A simple outline of and organization of the Tips and Techniques section, along the lines of a good textbook"....call it a "procedure manual" for card modelers ( opps, almost typed "carvers" in there!! ) of all levels. Have any of you ever seen "The Model Builder's Encyclopedia", published in the UK in the mid-80s, sadly, now long out of print?

This e-book, and the wiki, can stand side by side as identical twins.

Just my idea. Willing to help!

How about making an 'outline' for the book; like naming chapters, finding out what should be in there and in what order, tools would be a nice staring point, i could photograph them, and give a comment on everyone of them,
Use the existing wiki as a guideline and add things to it, maybe even edited the best threads from the forum, like spoked wheels, laminated propellors, printing on metallic paper etc..
here's a starter

History
Today's choice from FG to Halinsky
Where to get; printed or digital.
Tools, Scissors, knives ,circle cutters, hole punches etc
Techniques; printing, laminating, scoring ,tabs, butt-joints edge-coloring etc
Materials; paper, cardboard, metallic-paper, glues, spraymounts, varnish
Special techniques; canopies,propellors, spoked wheels

open for suggestions!

Here's a good amount of tips and tricks: Tips and tricks from Kartonwork

I don't envy the editor of such a project. It's a huge amount of work to be done!

Smile Interested in assisting

Folks, i am retiring in april after 35 years in the CAF and will have time to assist to create Ebook. I am learning the skills and a book is greatly needed to collect all the tips hints and technics. I can compile the info and create a doc with info that you send me or link to me.

I dont know the status of anything out there as of now, but i have collected my own hints and could have used a book years ago,


If this is still and interest then let me know


also what is the WIKI that you mentioned in previous messages?


thanks


Peter Weir, so to be MWO retired
