Books in Make Your Own Cut Out Model series

Scaled down for children to wear, this cut-out model is based on a helmet found in the grave of an Anglo-Saxon king who was buried at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk. The helmet was made from hammered iron sheeting in five main parts; a crested cap covered the skull, the face was masked, cheeks and ears were protected by hinged flaps tying under the chin, while the neck was protected behind by a deep and wide neck guard. As the helmet of a king it was richly decorated with designs of scroll, dragons and birds, all of which are represented on the cut-out model.

Have you ever dreamt of acquiring the most amazing collection of robots? What about being able to take them apart and rebuild them to bring the machines of your imagination to life? Well, here's your chance. This box-set includes fifteen different robot templates designed by Roger Fawcett-Tang, twelve of which have been illustrated and customized by a different trend-setting artist. Though varying in shape, the parts are interchangeable. Three blank DIY sheets also allow you to customize the templates with your very own designs. For robot obsessives of all ages, this playful but also intensely desirable object should become a collector's item in no time. Make sure you buy more than one set, and put at least one aside for the future. They may not change the course of technology or space travel, but they will certainly form a colorful and animated line-up on your shelf.
