Wooden Model Builder Plans and Drawings
Legacy Model Plans
While searching through our athenaeum, staff at Hobbies HQ in Norfolk establish a stash of old instructional plans that were once part of the Hobbies annual, dating back to the 1950s. The plans were originally sold to hobbyists who wanted to make wooden models from scratch, and some were quite ambitious indeed. To help keep the lost fine art of wooden model-building alive, Hobbies have decided to release these plans for gratis to allow a new generation of hobbyists and modellers to try their easily at 1950s construction techniques.
Included are the plans for a pleasure gunkhole, complete with infinite for a working motor, a rather splendid 'Nuclear Submarine 'Dreadnought' design, equally well as plans for a model lightship and a WWII-era Armstrong Whitworth Whitley bomber. Besides included are links to the supplies you might find useful. The plans were originally produced in A3, but tin exist printed in A4 with advisable adjustments to scaling.
