This is an OK book. I'm about 80% through the first project (Giant Loader) and construction is going as expected. I find significant disappointment in the books method of providing some, but not all, shape templates on a page and then instructs to print them up-scale (162% in this case). Other templates for other plans have varying up-scale values. So what do you get when you scale an 8 x 11 page up 162%? 4 pages that you have to tape back together OR just 1/4 of the page if the printer does not have a 'poster print' setting. As mentioned some shaped items are not on the template page but do have dimensioned drawings (without an up-scale value) Inconsistency... Perhaps it was written more for the person wanting to read about making the toy rather than actually building them.The toy concepts are fairly cool though.
PLANS ARE VAGUE, POORLY DONE
A great book, prompt delivery
Great ideas.
