Scale Modeling is a fairly modern hobby, originating as a commercial industry in the latter half of the last century. The scale model hobby and industry has been a dynamic area for the appropriation of new technologies, information and methods into the improvement and advance of the hobby. This undoubtedly comes from it's scratch building origins. In scale aircraft models, one of the most influential modelers of the mid 20thC was Harry Woodman, who published his idea's and methods in "Scale Model Aircraft in Plastic Card". This work has been out of print for 30 years until recently when the book was web published by Peter Leonard. The republication continues the history modelers have for adapting new affordable technologies to the promotion of scale modeling. [kuro5hin.org]
