Hobbies; Carving & modelling, moulding & casting; Motor cars: general interest

Series: Car Craft

This new book, the first in the CarCraft series delivers an innovative presentation to the car enthusiast by covering the engineering, design, and modelling of one of motoring's greatest cars across all its epochs. Ettore Bugatti changed engineering history with his genius and innovations. With its clever engine design, new suspension thinking, and distinct body style, Bugatti's T35 and its variants defined a new era of design and driving and must surely rank as true 'supercars'. A motor sport legend was also cast down by these Bugattis. Experienced automotive writer, industrial designer and Bugatti Owners Club member Lance Cole pays tribute to the car in a detailed yet engaging commentary. New photography, the design story, and full coverage of the modelling options in synthetic materials and die cast metals, create a narrative of vital interest.

Reviews for Bugatti T and Its Variants: Type 35 Grand Prix Car and its Variants

The book has great photos of the real car, with some good detail shots of the engine, interior, and chassis and frame. -- Model Cars Magazine ... color photos will help you decide which color scheme to use should you want to model the car -- either for a race or perhaps for some pulp adventure. -- Historical Miniatures Gaming Society This book may only run to 65 pages but it packs a lot in, looking in detail at the car's minutiae... Image reproduction - even the historic ones - is crisp and clear. -- Classic Car Weekly Lance Cole kicks off Pen & Sword's new Car Craft series with an excellent overview of the Bugatti Type 35....The modeler is well served as there is a good ratio of action and detail photographs... -- IPMS/USA
