 Great Book. Keep 'em Comin. January 7, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Lots of color photos featuring high quality 1:43 scale models. Every hand-built manufacturer is here. Brooklin, Motor City USA, Western Models, Provence Moulage, CCC, Conquest, BBR. Does a good job of illustrating why 1:43 is mostly a "gentlemen's hobby." These models aren't cheap.
My only complaint was that the author devoted a bit too much space to the crude one-off models from obscure builders like J Rettig and Enchantment Land Coachbuilders. I would much rather see multiple photos of one of Motor City's masterpieces than have it share space with some converted 1/43rd-ish toy covered in sloppy chrome foil. Yuck.
The only error I found: The 1964 Ford Country Squire on Page 64 is a plastic slot car from Ideal's Motorific line - not an AMT kit.
 A must-have for the serious model car collector October 18, 2006

Collectors of model cars prefer to spend their spare cash on model cars, not books on model cars. I can understand their priorities, but in the case of "Ford in Miniature" they really ought to reserve a few dollars for an exceptional book that puts an important part of their hobby in perspective - 1:43rd scale handbuilt models of classic American cars. Randall Olson displays a knowledge of Fords and handbuilt models like few others with a stunning array of color pictures and loads of inside information. His book will surely become a standard work for the model collector - at least for that discerning collector who is willing to spend a little on books on model cars, and not just model cars.
