This is a comprehensive guide to the use of plastics in virtually all forms of modelling. The author describes the various types and forms of plastics, and gives their useful characteristics, strengths and weaknesses and how to work them. Whilst it may seem more applicable to straight plastic modelling, there is a good section on the uses, direct or indirect, model engineers can put plastic to, and another covering its use in electronics. I rather suspect that this is one of those indispensable books everyone should have on their workshop bookshelf. 144 pages.100s of photos, diagrams and charts. Larger format paperback. Nexus
