by Jack Hagerty and Jon C. Rogers |
Reviewed By Rich Marchiafava, IPMS# 39230 |
MSRP: $59.95 ISBN: 10: 0-9707604-0-x ISBN 13: 978-0-9707604-0-1 Website: www.arapress.com In the world of sci-fi there are stories of epic proportion and then are stories that just don't catch on as much as other. When I agreed to review this book I decided early on to read it with an open mind and not judge it because I'm generally biased toward Star Trek, BSG, and Star Wars. When I started to read the 534 page book I have to admit I was Impressed because of the amount of the information and research that went into this book . This book covers the spaceship real life as well as fictional and fantasy. When I sat down to write this review I honestly didn't know where to start or how to start it . I went to www.arapress.com to try and get some ideas and found the following information in the next paragraph. They also have other links you may go to in PDF. Format to view samples of the book.
All in all this book is a must have for the serious sci-fi modeler. With all the full color pictures and data drawings the scratch builder will love the plans. I would definitely recommend this book. I would like to thank ARA Press and IPMS for our copy.
