Hi crowie ,

Thanks for sharing about that toy book by Richard Blizzard .
I like his toys . I have a few of his toys such as the merry-go- round ,
the pull along train ,the bike , the pram ,grasshopper and I am in the middle
of making the fire engine only I have left to do is the rocking horse . That's great that he is bring a book out . What I made those toys from is 16 page magazine . I will order one myself .

Hi All I would like to make comment on Richard E Blizzards new book that is coming out soon, I think I would add this book to my library, but am a bit apprehensive just in case it is a rehash of eight of the woodwork books on wooden toys and models Richard had written in the 1980’s & early 1990’s.
I have built from his planes out of three of these books and found them very easy to follow and quite detailed I may go back one day and build some other of his toys/models. I am sure that he would have quite a large following of toy& models builders on this forum especially in Great Britten and Europe.
Where I read he had a TV or Radio show at some point in time. So just to sum things up I will wait and see what happens….. or maybe just live on the edge and order it now!....

Very fair comment Col,
I'll have to tell you when mine arrives if in fact it's as you said a "re-hash".
Just one other thing please.
Whta's the Blizzard's Action Toys book like please??!! Thank you...
The book is as cheap at A$4.00 on Amazon as Good Used and the Aussie Dollar is up to US$1.04...
Cheers, crowie

I ordered Blizzards new book.I was looking for the "Blizzards Action Toys" I see you haveit Colbra. I found it on ebay.$7.90 plus post.I thought that is OK,so I ask post cost from Melbourne to Geelong it was $9.00. Making $16.90 for a second hand book.
Now I dont know what is contained in either book.One is secondhand the other is brandnew print but may contain old plans,maybe some others. So I picked the new book for I think $28 delivered If it turns out to be no good for me after a quick flick through. I will sell it as New and unwanted
I have already purchased a set of wheels that suit 2 of his models
