Originally published in 1991, it was our fastest seller, and
has been out-of-print for quite some time.
If you have only volumes 2 and 3, here's the chance to complete your set.
This is a very limited print-run, so we suggest ordering Stick & Tissue, Volume 1 now!
Similar in format to the Peanuts & Pistachios series, Stick & Tissue International
reviews the evolution of rubber-powered models, and presents a varied
selection of model construction drawings, including a delightful R.O.G.,
a couple of Pistachio-size Peanuts, a semi-scale Fokker D-7
with the flavor of "good olde days" ten-cent kits, plus a trio of Bostonian models.
Also, the volume is illustrated with dozens of line-drawings,
photos and cartoons, seasoned with a generous dollop of whimsey.
