Monogram Models Review: Fantastic Story of a Great Model Kit Company - Author Thomas Graham has done a fantastic job in capturing the story of the Monogram model company. From its humble beginnings marketing simple balsa wood models to becoming one of the popular model kit companies of the 1960's and 1970's, through to the company's sale to Mattel and the changes in staff, this book captures every salient event in Monogram's rise to fame. In addition to being packed with photos of the various kits Monogram released over the years, the book captures the story of the people who made the company great and how they went about their work. Under its original Boss, Jack Besser, Monogram was populated by people who just loved doing what they were doing, either designing another kit, or doing artwork for the boxes, through to climbing a ladder and charging the model moulds with coloured plastic. I enjoyed this book immensely as it brought back memories of all the Monogram models I used to put together as a young boy growing up in the 1960's and 1970's and looking forward to seeing the end results. The book reveals how these models came to life from idea through design to mould construction to boxing and distribution. It also traces the ups and downs of the company from its inception as an idea two young men developed through to its present day status. For anyone who has ever constructed any of the Monogram model range, from model aircraft, through cars and dragsters and hot rods to slot cars and big rig models, this book is a fascinating journey of nostalgia and also a tinge of sadness as the company went through a change in the past few decades. The book is packed with photos of built kits and box artwork that will bring back memories for many people. In summary a very well researched and written account of one of the top model companies and their array of kits covering everything and anything a young boy would be interested in especially back in those heady days of the '60's and '70's....Well done, Thomas Graham! Review: Very well done, with lots of color photos and box art - Excellent. I wish the author had shown more of the sculpting and design process for the models, but overall this is great, and a sharp pang of nostalgia on every page for baby boomers like myself. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,149,581 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #190 in Antique & Collectible Toys (Books) #505 in Model Building | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 95 Reviews | ## Images ![Monogram Models - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710TE4NUBHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Story of a Great Model Kit Company *by B***8 on July 13, 2015* Author Thomas Graham has done a fantastic job in capturing the story of the Monogram model company.

I wish the author had shown more of the sculpting and design process for the models, but overall this is great, and a sharp pang of nostalgia on every page for baby boomers like myself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Remembering my childhood *by A***R on March 26, 2019* This brings back lots of wonderful memories of building models with my Dad during my childhood. It also shed light on a number of built models my father left me. It was great to read about those kits and to get a sense of when he probably built them. Some pictures actually made me teary-eyed!
