Description:
This book accompanies a major new BBC2 series in Autumn 2009. A book for all boys - from 5 to 85 - and hardy girls too! The book chronicles the challenges and dramas as James and his team of helpers build and create a selection of Britain's best-loved toys. Using some of the nation's best-loved toys, James May brings children and parents together to make his childhood toy fantasies come true. James May is a man on a mission this Christmas. He wants to encourage children out of their bedrooms and away from their Playstations and get them playing with their parents. To do this he takes some of Britain's traditional toys and puts generations of families at the heart of some ludicrously ambitious adventures and challenges. Inspired by James' exploits, the book covers both the stories behind a number of classic toys - bringing them to life through accounts of the most unusual, weird and exciting versions built anywhere to date - and the adventures in summer 2009 as James and his team of helpers, children and adults of all ages, build and recreate a range of toys in a series of 'Top Gear' style escapades. Each adventure includes details of how the projects were constructed, with diagrams, illustrations and informal photography taken during the filming. The book also offers 12 simple but fun projects linked to these toys to carry out in your own home, accompanied by step-by-step instructions, illustrations and diagrams. James' toy adventures include: building a full-size house made entirely out of Lego; creating a Plasticine garden and entering it at the world-famous Chelsea Flower Show; building the world's largest model aeroplane - a full-size Spitfire; racing a Scalextric car against a London taxi through London's West End; constructing the first life-size Meccano bridge across the River Cam in Cambridge; and, building the world's greatest model train set.
