Sinopsis de TOYS AND MODELS: A SOURCEBOOK OF IDEAS
Toys and Models is a book of ideas for anyone interested in making toys, models and automata. Rodney Pepp, has combined a career as a children's author/illustrator with designing and making toys, models and automata. This combination provides the main source of the book. Exhibiting in one-man, non-selling shows, he has managed to retain most of his creations for these pages. This has enabled all the items to be photographed together and offers a rare homogeneity encompassing the various but connected aspects of his work. The book is divided into three sections: 1. Hand-cranked moving toys 2. Electric models, clocks and automata 3. Models and characters made for picture books and television. At the end of the book there are simple plans for simple items for the reader to make.
