At some point in childhood, all men dabble with paint, PVA and papier mache, balsa-wood, cardboard and sticky-back plastic, hoping to make the models of their dreams a reality. While some fall by the wayside, put away childish things and dream instead of another kind of model, other stasy true to their childhood selves and ultimately create things far more amazing that their early visions. In this book, the author delves into the lives of men who have succeeded, meeting the minds behind the models and the models themselves - from concrete dragons to a life-sized dragster, half-size tanks to a cowboy ranch, a wurlitzer organ to a robotic falcon. Revealing portraits and close-up details illustrate the compelling story of each man and his model.
