SWSM-Cyclopedia (an index of techniques)

vietnamseabee

Okay, here's the link. It can be read online or downloaded. It's a large file (500+ pages) so it might be a lengthy d/l on a slow connection. There's an index at the back of the book.

I began this project because I needed a way to easily access the great tips the modeler's on the forum so readily shared. Compiling books is somewhat a hobby for me (I've done 6) and with this book it's a work in progress as the tips and techniques just keep on coming. Each tip or technique gives credit to the modeler and the thread it came from.

enjoy and happy modeling
Terry

If Terry is ok with the following I will proceed:

I would like to delete everything but the intro and link in this thread to make it easier for folks to navigate and find the link. What an amazing resource! I will make the thread sticky and lock it down as well.

Thoughts from everyone?

Sounds good to me

I went to the link and looked it over. didn't have time to read it all, but it is a GREAT resource. Thanks Terry for compiling all that information. Brett I don't know what you mean by "thread sticky" but would be great resource if it were readily available here.

petet

Definitely

kebmo

that would be most excellent kind sir!

kebmo

i followed terry's link. holy moly!!
what a ton of time that must've taken to compile. i did it for one of robert/s builds and it took a long time and i only had to go through one thread to do it. i can't image the work it took. kudos terry, and thanks.

Your welcome, Kev and everyone else. I hope it’s as useful to you as it is to me. Problem is, I’m way behind in bringing it up to date…..you guys all keep coming up with these great techniques and I have trouble keeping the book updated.
The majority of the entries are the ones where the technique has been explained how to do it as well as the pix to support the text.

Hey Terry, this is absolutely amazing. I am wondering, I'm sorry If I am just not seeing it, is there a way to download this so I have access when I am not online? Thankyou so much for sharing this as a resource!

vietnamseabee

Ben….I’m sure you can download it….I remember seeing a “buy book” button, or something similar….there’s no charge for the book but “buying “ it might let you d/l it

Karl.A

I just tried for you and it worked no problems.

randyp

ALCO, I would also like to know how to do that also. Unfortunately I am a techo present

Click the link above given by Terry to get to the first screen.

Next Click the "Download PDF" button on that page as shown below.



The PDF will open on your screen.

To save it Click on the "save icon" as shown below.

This will open a window asking where you want to save it as seen below.



If you want to just print it the icon to the left of the "save icon" is the "print icon".

Hope it helps.

When I click on download to PDF I get an error message saying not found on this server.

Jim M

Just the intro and link is a great idea for a sticky for this information. That will make it so much easier for modelers to find this great resource.

BenPopper

I am also in the 404 error group on multiple devices

ALCO

To all those who are getting this error when you click “Download PDF” (404. That’s an error. The requested URL /books/download/SWSM_Modeler_s_Tips_Tricks_and_Technique.pdf?id=JrYREAAAQBAJ&output=pdf was not found on this server. That’s all we know.), are you using a PC/Windows or a MAC/iPad? I’m using an iPad myself.

ALCO

I was able to download the file on my PC. Then I uploaded it to iCloud so I can access it on my iPad.

Mountaingoat

I still get the same error on my PC.

I have an inquiry going with Google Books……why do I think the response will be “it’s a supply chain issue” ;-((
