Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people interested in model building, replicas of warships are among the absolute highlights. This has to do with the special technology of the prototypes and above all with one thing: the multitude of fine details that have to be built in such models. Good research and a fine working method are indispensable. In this book, Günther Slansky shows that expensive workshop equipment is not always necessary. Using a German torpedo boat as an example, the "old school" model builder describes how it is possible to build a detailed warship model according to plan using simple tools. Beginners can thus benefit from his enormous wealth of experience and realise their dream of building a model of a warship. From the content: • Selection of the model • Building documents • The building concept • Workshop and tools • Building and auxiliary material • Thoughts on the building process • Hull construction • Ship technical equipment • Weaponry equipment • Life-saving equipment • Superstructures and deckhouses • Testing

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ships, submarines, amphibious vehicles - functional in 1:87/H0 Models in small scales are particularly fascinating - micromodels on water even more so! In this book, the four authors - most of them already known from other books on the subject of micromodels - present ships, submarines and amphibious vehicles almost completely in 1:87 scale, also known as H0. Of course, they do not limit themselves to the pure driving functions. The models in this book are packed with special functions of all kinds - by the way, many of them can also be used for models in larger scales. The technology presented here makes almost everything possible and the instructions show that a replica is also feasible with normal means. Take up the challenge and put a micro-functional model on the water! From the content • Introduction – a few thoughts in advance • Henry Morgan – a small harbour tugboat to warm up • Little helpers – simple tools with great effect • Arngast – a plastic model learns to dive • Wulf Isebrand – deep drawing technology in miniature • Soldering aid – hole grid board to help with soldering • LED – Handling LEDs in Model Making • DUKW – a ship with wheels • ROV – maximum fun with minimal effort • Calypso – a handy functional model • Hermann Marwede – conversion of a Revell - model in 1/72nd scale • Friesland – a crane ship with play value

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback, Philip Reed's latest building guide tackles what many regard as the ultimate expression of the ship model maker’s art, the Navy Board model. His step-by-step construction of a miniature 1/192 scale model of HMS Royal George of 1715 demonstrates all the conventions of Navy Board framing and planking. With the aid of nearly four hundred photographs, he takes the reader through every building stage. He covers methods of hull and deck framing, internal and external planking, and the construction of the complex stern. Reed also shows how to render the multitude of decorative carvings on the figurehead, stern, and broadside. A section showing, amongst others, his model of Siren, explains how the techniques used to frame Royal George can be adapted for ships of a later date, using single and double frames closer to full-size practice. This is the first book in many years to cover the well-known and sought-after early eighteenth-century Navy Board models. Here is an invaluable manual from which any model maker can benefit from the lifetime’s experience of one of the world’s leading exponents of the art of miniature shipbuilding.

Book excerpt: The ShipCraft series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sister-ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic gallery of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references books, monographs, large-scale plans and websites.This volume is devoted to the largest class of submarines ever built, the Type VII, which formed the backbone of the German effort in the critical Battle of the Atlantic. A pre-war design, the Type VII was developed as the campaign progressed and was still in frontline service in 1945. All the major variants, as well as minor changes to equipment, are covered here. With its unparalleled level of visual information paint schemes, models, line drawings and photographs it is simply the best reference for any modelmaker setting out to build one of these famous boats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive history of how the 1:1200 scale and its 1:1250 continental equivalent became accepted as the modern standard for miniature ship models. The origins can be traced back to the first years of the twentieth century and their use as identification aids by the military during the First World War, but when peace came the manufacturers aimed their increasingly sophisticated products at collectors, and acquiring, modifying or scratch-building miniature ship models has been an avidly pursued hobby ever since. This book charts the commercial rise and fall of the manufacturers, and the advancing technology that produces ever more detailed and accurate replicas. The author - himself a lifetime collector and builder of models - looks at the products of each manufacturer, past and present, rating their quality and suggesting why some are regarded as more collectible than others. But the book deals with more than off-the-shelf models, covering subsidiary issues like painting, modifying and diorama settings, and is illustrated throughout with many of the finest examples of the genre. The combination of fascinating background information with stunning visual presentation will make this book irresistible to any collector or enthusiast.

This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide for collectors and modelers—packed with photos, technical information, practical advice, and history. The origins of 1/1250 and 1/1200 scale models can be traced back to the first years of the twentieth century and their use as identification aids by the military during the First World War. When peace came, the manufacturers aimed their increasingly sophisticated products at collectors, and ever since then acquiring, enhancing, modifying, or scratch-building miniature ship models has been an avidly pursued hobby around the world. This new book focuses on models of the ships of the Second World War, and the author addresses all the practical issues that might confront collectors who like to enhance, convert, and modify their models, or even scratch-build models of ships not commercially available. The book covers both Allied and Axis warships, naval airplanes, merchant conversions, and even an Italian armed schooner, and provides historic and technical information on the ships represented as well as practical advice on modeling them—including twenty-five chapters covering everything from initial production techniques such as spin casting, silicon mold casting, resin casting, die-casting, plastic mold injection, and 3D printing through techniques for enhancing and modifying models to eventually researching and scratch-building an uncommon ship or type. The focus is always on particular vessels and the vast array covered builds into a fascinating panorama of the vessels that fought across the world’s oceans in that era. The combination of intriguing background and historical information, combined with detailed practical information and more than 300 stunning photographs, makes this book irresistible to collectors, modelers, or anyone with an interest in the navies of the Second World War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Brings Ough’s life and work beautifully to light in a volume rich in photographs, drawings, technical detail and personality.”—Schopenhauer’s Workshop Norman Ough is considered by many as simply the greatest ship modeler of the twentieth century and his exquisite drawings and meticulous models have come to be regarded as masterpieces of draughtsmanship, workmanship and realism; more than technically accomplished ship models, they are truly works of art. This new book is both a tribute to his lonely genius and a practical treatise for model shipwrights. Ough lived most of his adult life far from the sea in a flat high above the Charing Cross Road in London, where his frugal existence and total absorption in his work led to hospitalization on at least two occasions; he was an eccentric in the truest sense but he also became one of the most sought-after masters of his craft. Earl Mountbatten had him model the ships he had served on; his model of HMS Queen Elizabeth was presented to Earl Beatty; film production companies commissioned models for effects in several films. Incorporating many of his original articles from Model Maker Magazine, his detailed line drawings now kept in the Brunel Institute, and photographs of his models held in museums and at Mountbatten’s house, this book presents an inspiring panorama of perhaps the most perfect warship models ever made. “An amazing, almost intimidating view of the method, modelling, drawings, and a life of a builder so obsessed with his work that some may say he was a man who went down with his ships.”—FineScale Modeler

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated guide presents step-by-step instructions and techniques for warship modelers ready for the challenge of building at larger scales. Many warship modelers who work in smaller scales are daunted by the challenge of tackling something larger. But in Large Scale Warship Models, expert modeler Kerry Jang demonstrates that it’s not as difficult as it may seem. In fact, any experienced modeler will already possess the basic skills required. This volume covers the essential new techniques for working in scales that capture the grandeur of actual ships. In the first part of the book, Jang discusses how to choose between a kit, a semi-kit or building from scratch. He also covers what conventional kit building skills are transferable to work on large-scale projects. Novel requirements like research, obtaining plans and sourcing material or fittings are also covered. The second part describes building methods, including the latest techniques like casting fittings in resin. These methods apply to both static and radio-controlled models. Original color photos illustrate each chapter, and the book concludes with a gallery of superb models intended to inspire the would-be large-scale warship modeler to take the plunge.

This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work by maritime artist Mal Wright, both the official and unofficial paint schemes that adorned ships of the Royal Navy and Commonwealth during World War II are depicted in detail. During the Second World War navies developed low visibility camouflage for their ships, on both the vertical and horizontal surfaces, in order reduce visibility by blending in with the sea, or confuse the identity of a ship by applying more obtrusive patters. In this now classic work by maritime artist Mal Wright both the official and unofficial paint schemes that adorned ships of the Royal Navy and Commonwealth are depicted in detail, along with discussion on changes of armament and electronics that effected the outward appearance of each ship. Starting with destroyers from WW1 still in service during WW2, the book progressively covers ships below cruisers, class by class, to provide a detailed and easy-to-use guide to paint schemes in use. In some cases individual ships are shown in the several schemes they wore thus providing a source that covers various periods of service. With 740 full color illustrations, all of named vessels, this book concentrates information into a single volume to provide a one-stop reference source, and, for the first time in a single volume, it covers not just the well-known ships, but also escort vessels, minesweepers, trawlers, coastal craft and auxiliaries in sequential format. Many schemes would be difficult for the reader to have found other than with the most intensive research so that historians, collectors, modelmakers and wargamers will find this unique reference source absolutely invaluable. "A book that all steel navy fans will want in their library. The book is heavily researched and I doubt that anyone else but the author knows more about this subject...All I can say is 'Wow' to all of the information packed into this small book. It is perfect for the WWII researcher, and the model maker." - Bob Friedman, Ship Modellers Forum

Book excerpt: Philip Reed, best known for his superb models of ships from the age of sail, here turns his attention to the other highly popular subject for ship modelers - the warships of the Second World War. The book is a step-by-step manual for building a scratch waterline model of the Ca Class destroyer HMS Caesar, the sistership of Cavalier now on display in drydock at Chatham Historical Dockyard. These emergency built ships were launched between 1943 and 1945 and Caesar herself was to see action in 1944 on the Russian convoys and then in defense of the Western Approaches. The model presented in the book is built to the scale of 16ft to the inch and is designed to be displayed as a waterline model in a diorama. Every aspect is covered from the construction of a bread and butter hull through to the the details of camouflage, bridge, funnel, mast, the 4.5in, Hazemeyer and Oerlikon guns, boats, davits, depth charge gear, torpedo tubes, searchlights, vents and lockers,and the sea itself. Ship’s plans and a picture gallery at the end of the book devoted to a whole array of the author’s WWII model warships complete the book. More than fifty years of modeling experience is passed on through wise and practical advice and thus each page will be of the utmost value to scratch builders and to any kit builders who may be setting out to construct a model of a WWII warship.
