PLASTIC MECCANO – that large scale unbreakable system for real youngsters – has now been on the market for something like two years. In that time, it has grown trmendously popular, but in the past, Meccano Magazine has never featured new models to build with any of the three sets in the system. We on the new M.M. intend to rectify the situation by presenting a Plastic Meccano model whenever space allows and we begin this month with the Crane illustrated here. ...
... when compared to the standard Meccano crane on page 24, it proves that Plastic Meccano can be used to build, in a similar form, many of the things that can be modelled in metal Meccano. Incidentally, it is not generally appreciated that the two Meccano systems are really one! The Plastic Meccano parts can be used with complete success in conjunction with the traditional metal, and, in fact, there are several of the plastic parts which, by their use, enable far greater realism and more colour to be built into the traditional metal model.
Some examples of such "combination" models will be presented in future issues of Meccano Magazine, and we are sure that many of you will be suprised by the impressive effects that the marriage of plastic and metal can produce.
