Book Description
“Rising above the usual singsong name-checking, Vestergaard celebrates not only the jobs these machines perform but also their marvelous mechanics.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) Sixteen boisterous, rhyming poems — each one highlighting the job and personality of a different vehicle, from a backhoe to an ambulance to a snowplow — invite young children to meet their favorite trucks face-to-face. Cheerful illustrations show each one in action, digging (or dozing, or dumping) away. Engaging visual details like an anxious turtle crossing the street just ahead of a steamroller are sure to keep preschoolers poring over the pages as they consider the question, “Trucks as far as eyes can see. . . . Which truck would you like to be?”

Self-made construction machinery models
Author: Walter Penka
Publisher: Verlag für Technik und Handwerk
ISBN:
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Models of construction machinery are the crowning glory of commercial vehicle modelling. Here not only the quality of the construction must be right, the models must also be designed to cope with sometimes heavy loads during operation. All the functions that excavators, caterpillars, wheel loaders and dumper in one model is another art in this field. But Kits and ready-made models are expensive and sometimes reach prices in the five-digit euro range. The alternative is do-it-yourself construction, which can also be achieved with modest means, as the author Walter Penka shows in this book. He has successfully built various types of construction and shows here his design and construction techniques. The examples of successfully functioning machines shown here enable those who want to build replicas to turn their ideas into reality. The dream of a functional construction machine model can thus become a reality. From the content: • Creating and reading drawings • Materials in model making • Tools and machines • Sheet metal working methods • Visual decoration and equipment • Building techniques - different models and their production • Volvo F12 (1:16) • Wheel loader SL26 (1:16) • Excavator Cat 225 (1:16) • Loader Cat 963B (1:14,5) • Multi Dumper (1:16) • Volvo F12 Tipper Tractor (1:87) • SL26 wheel loader in scale (1:87)

On the heels of a nasty divorce, celebrity dancer Amy Perry expects a mess when she returns to the summerhouse her Uncle Henri willed her.

Despite the shock of learning who his new employer is, Sean Newland wants to treat this renovation like all his other projects: with professionalism and ease. In Amy’s presence, it’s not so simple. Because on the first day, they find a dead body. Later, they stumble upon a journal packed with unusual hints of past sins.
