January 27 - New from the folks across the pond who bring you Sci.fi & fantasy modeller magazine (volume 20 of which is now available) comes this interesting title: Steampunk Modeller. This book answers such questions as:

Ever wondered what a Martian Excursion Vehicle engineered in Victorian times would look like?
Or a Star Trek communicator built over a hundred years ago?
Or a steam-powered motorcycle ridden by a mysterious female?
Or a deadly, vampire-strafing, riveted monster of a tank?

Ask no more! Check this book out and/or order your copy by visiting their web site.
