The Best of TSC (Volume 7): The Stanley Whitman House. The plans and instructions for the model were originally published in the first volume of TSC (TSC 1:1-1:4). The prototype model, built by Jim and Helen Dorsett in 1976, was based on a post-and-beam house in Farmington, Connecticut and now resides, on permanent display, in the American Colonial Museum in Bath, England.
The Best of TSC (Volume 8): The Beginner's Workbench: Tools. The Beginner's Workbench was a series of articles, published during the 20 year span of TSC, that taught beginners basic tool use and modeling techniques. The articles used a photo-text format and step-by-step instructions that walked the beginning modeler through introductory modeling processes. The publication will be a must have for the beginning modeler.
