I am proud to say that the Model Engineer magazine has just published the first part of three articles on how I made the chess set for my younger brother Stephen, on his retirement from Devon and Coornwall Police.

The first part was published in issue 4345 on 13th February 2009 and I would like to thank David Clark the editor for his help with both the publishing and the drawings (which I supplied as hand drawn) drawn up by his illustrator.

If you are not familiar with the magazine, one of the oldest, if not oldest model engineering magazines in the world then why not visit their parent website as they also sell plans and books.
