    Hello Peter, if you google Toys and Joys plans you will also find numerous third party suppliers of their plans. I have on occasions used Bearwoods in the US, but be aware if you have plans sent via surface mail it can take up to 8 weeks or so to receive them.
    Their plans are very detailed.
    You may also like to look at Aschi Workshop plans as these are emailed to you.

    G'Day And Welcome Peter to the wonderful world of toymaking/model making.
    I was in your fair city back in January 2020 but for summer is was cool & windy, had to buy another jumper.
    Back on the toys, I've had one published that is offered for free if your interested; a Ford C Cab Truck.
    The link in below along with some other beautiful plans by my friend Jan, aka Dutchy.
    Cheers Peter

    I must add my vote for Dutchys plans having built his excavator and English bus and my favorite the Morgan sports car.
    He has just added a free truck plan you can build to try out his plans.
    It is a much simpler plan, great for some one wanting to get the feel of model building before trying one of the more advanced projects.
