Books and CD's

Each DMC model is fully documented with digital photographs from the first day of construction.  These photos are combined with captions and serve as a valuable source of data should the model ever require repair.  (The fact that the photos record the construction methods is an added benefit for the hapless builder who has forgotten just how something was done in the first place.)  These construction journals are fascinating for anyone interested in building a Pocher, and they contain considerable encouragement for the aspiring scratch-builder.  Because they cover the entire process of construction of models which sometimes consist of over 5000 pieces, they are extensive, ranging from 200 to over 300 photographs.  For the person who just wants to see what goes into a DMC model, these CD Journals may be a bit too detailed,  and they require time to load into a computer and as many as 300 sheets of paper if printed out.  For owners who want to show admirers what went into their model, the CD is clumsy and unlikely to be opened.

This shortcoming of the CD format led to providing each model with a hard-cover book which highlights the features and construction of the model.  The intricate process of construction is subordinated to the attractive photos which highlight features not readily apparent when viewing the model, as well as construction process photos that indicate the complexity and special details of the model.  For the owner who does not want to open the hoods or doors of the model every time someone stops by the house, this book allows a thorough hands-off and well-lighted tour.  This is also a great benefit to those owners who have their models in display cases.

 The hardcover books are available from www.blurb.com under the Craft and Hobbies heading.  The books can also be previewed on the Blurb site.

Detailed Model Cars offers the books and CD Journals as  packages for $50.00 US plus $5.00 US for domestic shipping ($10.00 for outside the USA).  Each package contains the hardcover book and the companion CD/ROM Construction Journal.
