My family and I returned safely from New Zealand this morning, disembarking from the Golden Princess at Port Melbourne around 8.30am. We had a wonderful trip, and look forward to returning to New Zealand some day to explore more of this wonderful country. I think next time we’ll fly, however!
Below is the only aviation-related photo I was able to take during the trip, taken at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch:
Thank you all for your patience during my absence!
Tomorrow afternoon my time (24 November 2019), my family and I board the Golden Princess for a 13-day cruise to and around New Zealand. This is our first proper holiday in 20 years! I will have only limited and expensive access to the Internet while I’m away, so consequently I won’t be able to respond to enquiries as quickly as I like to. If you purchase one of our books and have any issues with the process, send me an email as usual, but please allow some extra time for me to get back to you. At worst it will be two weeks, and I thank you in advance for your patience.
See you all in two weeks! Which reminds me, I better go pack…
Scale ModelWorld, held in Telford (UK) every year, is one of the world’s largest model shows, with visitors attending from all over the world, and large contest, vendor, and club sections. As it happens, the 2019 show is happening this coming weekend, November 9 & 10. For many of us who live outside the UK, it’s on our Bucket List of modelling events to attend in our lifeftime. And while I wish I could announce that I will be attending this year, thanks to a collaboration with Large Scale Planes and IPMS(UK) 32SIG, KLP Publishing will at least have a small token presence on the LSP/32SIG table.
Be sure to stop by and see the guys and say hello! Thanks to Dave Langmead for his assistance in bringing this together.
Due to an oversight on my part (mea culpa!), I’ve had to make a small amendment to our newly-launched book, Building the Revell P-51D-5NA in 1/32 Scale. All new purchasers will obviously get the new version, but if you’ve already purchased the book, you can log in to your account and download it from your purchase history.
Before anyone panics, however, be assured that the amendment does not affect the book’s content, and in fact consists of a copyright attribution for Juanita Franzi’s artwork that I forgot to include in the launch version. My apologies to Juanita for this oversight! Thanks to the nature of digital publishing, this becomes a very easy mistake to fix.
Many thanks to everyone who has purchased the book so far!
We’re pleased to announce the immediate availability of Jan Gabauer‘s new eBook, Building the Revell P-51D-5NA in 1/32 Scale!
In this 95-page eBook, Jan builds, paints, and weathers the new Revell 1/32 P-51D kit to produce an excellent rendition of Major Richard A. Peterson’s “Hurry Home Honey”.
The book features not only Jan’s terrific build guide, but also artwork by Juanita Franzi, a review of the kit itself, and an extensive set of appendices covering applicable aftermarket products and reference works.
It’s available now for only 12 Australian dollars!
Two years ago today we launched our debut title, Building Brick’s Sabre in 1/32 Scale: A Scale Tribute to K. J. “Brick” Bricknell. Happily, it’s still available —and being an eBook, it always will be!
With luck we’ll be launching our 7th title shortly.
With our 10th Anniversary just a mere 8 years away, we thought we might have an early (some would say premature!) celebratory sale. So, for the duration of this coming weekend, all purchases will be discounted by 20% when you checkout. All you have to do (and this is important!) is use the coupon code twentyoff when you checkout. The discount will then apply to the entire value of your cart. Easy!

We’ve just launched our second eBook bundle, this time bringing together our first two books on Luftwaffe subjects: the HpH 1/32 Fw 189, and the Revell 1/32 He 219A-7.
In Building the HpH Fw 189, Jan Gabauer tackles the impressive mixed-media 1/32 scale Fw 189 kit from HpH Models. Jan navigates the complexities of the build with aplomb, offering tips for working with resin assemblies, and overcoming the particular challenges of this kit.
This book is a 66-page downloadable PDF.
In Building the Revell He 219A-7, renowned UK modeller Iain Ogilvie tackles the Revell 1/32 scale He 219A-7 kit, finishing it to a superb standard. Along with plenty of hints and tips throughout the build, Iain navigates a simple but ingenious way of correcting the kit’s major flaw: misshapen engine nacelles that are set at an incorrect angle.
This book is a 101-page downloadable PDF.
This new bundle is available in our web shop for 20 Australian dollars:
I’m pleased to announced that work has begun on our next title in the Build Guide Series! Entitled Building the Revell P-51D-5NA Mustang in 1/32 Scale, it’s written by Jan Gabauer, and as the title suggests, it features the new-tool Revell 1/32 scale P-51D Mustang.
Jan guides you through building and painting the kit, using a small selection of aftermarket parts to enhance the build. Jan finishes the model as “Hurry Home Honey”, flown by Pete Peterson of the 357th Fighter Group, using a combination of the kit decals and an aftermarket set from Zoukei-Mura.
Stay tuned for more details about the book as they come to hand, including a release date!
