Cam, Harry Woodman owns the copyright and has given his blessing. So it's all above board. For me it was very much a labour of love.

The source material is more than thirty years old now and younger modellers may wonder what's so special about it. The core of Harry Woodman's approach to model making is as valid now as it was in the late sixties when he first expounded it. Back then it was a revelation and I never met a scratch builder who doesn't name the author as an influence. A total of only 3,000 copies were printed and I have been three years usuccessfuly trying to persuade the publishers to reprint it. My web version is a poor substitute but I hope it will spur a few more to have a try at building from scratch
