Styrene modeling: How to build, paint, and finish realistic styrene models

 


  • Basics of Plastic Ship Building Book - This book takes you step by step into the facinating world that is ship modeling. From tips and techniques to pictures of finished models, this book is sure to help everyone from a novice to expert.
  • BUILDING PLANK ON FRAME SHIP MODELS - The 'plank-on-frame' method is the pre-eminent ship modelling technique, which nearly all model shipwrights aspire to. Taking as his example the two-masted sloop Cruiser of 1752, the author leads the reader through every stage of building a model of the vessel, from preliminary research and taking off lines to the actual construction of the hull and fittings, and its masting and rigging. Each clear, step-by-step stage is described in the text and illustrated with explanatory line drawings and photographs. Since publication in 1992 this volume has established itself as the standard work of reference for model hull construction.
  • Built-Up Ship Model Publication of the Marine Research Society - A highly detailed, superbly illustrated manual introducing serious model builders to the hand-crafting of ship models from the bottom up, exactly as real ships were built in shipyards. The model is the 16-gun United States brig Lexington, in active service during the Revolution.
  • Historic Ship Models - More than 2,500 photographs, detailed diagrams, intricate drawings, and easy-to-follow plans fill every page of this invaluable sourcebook for making model ships. It's simply breathtaking, rich in historical facts about real ships that sailed the seas from 3000 B.C. to the 19th century, and generously informative. Charts and checklists abound, and the essential advice covers every conceivable point, from deciding on a project to choosing the best plans, from making the most of a limited budget to selecting the handiest materials. Every model maker will find eye-opening ideas.
