Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past thirty years the world of model kits has undergone a veritable revolution. New techniques in injection moulding have improved the scale accuracy and surface detail of the humble plastic kit, while many specialist companies now produce top-quality resin models, vastly broadening the range of subjects on the market. However, the really radical change has been the advent of photo-etched brass fret, which allows the finest detail to be reproduced to scale. In ship modelling, this has resulted in a new form of the hobby, mid-way between traditional build-from-the-box simplicity and the time-consuming demands of fabricating everything from scratch. These new materials have prompted innovative techniques, which are comprehensively demonstrated in this new manual. Designed for those wishing to achieve the best results from their ship kits in the 1:700 to 1:350 range of scales, it uses step by step photographs to take the reader through the building of two models, one in plastic and one in resin, from basic construction, fittings and detailing, to painting, finishing and display. Written by a highly experienced, award-winning ship modeller, the book is a showcase for the contemporary approach to the hobby.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling Ships and Space Craft: The Science and Art of Mastering the Oceans and Sky begins with the theories of Aristotle and Archimedes, moving on to examine the work of Froude and Taylor, the early aviators and the Wright Brothers, Goddard and the other rocket men, and the computational fluid dynamic models of our time. It examines the ways each used fluid dynamic principles in the design of their vessels. In the process, this book covers the history of hydrodynamic (aero and fluid) theory and its progression – with some very accessible science examples – including seminal theories. Hydrodynamic principles in action are also explored with examples from nature and the works of man. This is a book for anyone interested in the history of technology – specifically the methods and science behind the use of scale models and hydrodynamic principles in the marine and aeronautical designs of today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RC ship models with jet propulsion or water jet propulsion, as you can also say, have been around for many years, but unfortunately only a few model ship builders have familiarised themselves with this type of propulsion. Once you have read this book and seen the many illustrations of jet models, you will also be one of the jet-enthusiastic RC model ship builders. The author explains the technology and you will find that building a jet-powered RC model ship is no more difficult than building a model with conventional propulsion. Numerous pictures illustrate the construction and conversion of models, so that every beginner will be able to venture into building a jet-powered RC ship model. From the content: • How a jet propulsion system works • First model ship kits with jet propulsion • A company specialises in jet propulsion • Building instructions for RC ship models with jet propulsion • Jet models from Kehrer material sets • Model Ruban Bleu with one jet engine • Model Antipodean with two jet engines • Model SAR 33 with three jet drives • Other models with Kehrer jet drives • Model Motor Yacht Thor • Model HMCC Sentinel • Model Florida-Jet • Model Rapido 600-Jet • Experimental model Wave Explorer-Jet • Racing catamaran Powerkat-Jet • Pictures of some more Kehrer-Jet models • Multi Jet-Boat from Graupner

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Next to railways, they are the epitome of historical technology: steamships. No wonder, then, that they also have a special appeal for model builders. To drive one's model not simply with an electric motor, but even more originally with a steam engine, is the dream of many technology fans. If the model then moves across the pond, trailing a plume of steam behind it, the enthusiasm is perfect! But how do you build such a model? What are the possibilities? Which models are suitable? These and many more questions are answered in detail by steamship specialist Thomas Hillenbrand in this book. In addition to the basics of technology and construction, he looks at various types of models, most of which he has successfully built himself - some of them very unusual constructions. The book concludes with an example of the construction of a steamship with a simple superstructure - an ideal introduction to this fascinating branch of model building. So, open the throttle and full steam ahead! From the content: • Some of the history of steam-powered ships and models • Steam as a source of power • The steam boiler • Some information about combustion and the firing of steam boilers • The different versions of the propulsion engine • Commissioning, troubleshooting and repair of the steam system • The propulsion systems of the steamship • Suitable models for steam propulsion • Installation of the steam system in the model • Presentation of different steamship models • Building the Steam Launch Presto

Download or read book Building Plank-on-Frame Ship Models written by Ron McCarthy and published by Anova Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'plank-on-frame' method is the pre-eminent ship modelling technique, which nearly all model shipwrights aspire to: this practical manual is the foremost guide to its intricacies. 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. Though a single ship is employed as an example, the techniques can equally well be applied to any wooden sailing ship. Since original publication in 1994 this volume has established itself as the standard work of reference for model hull construction and is indispensable for modelmakers who pride themselves on an accurate, elegant scratch-built technique.
