Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing numbers of model shipwrights aim to attain the highest standard of finish on their models, many aspiring to 'exhibition finish', and yet painting and fine detailing is probably the most difficult aspect of modelling to excel at. This book is written for all those searching for tips and techniques to complete a fine scale ship model. Drawing on a lifetime's practical experience of modelmaking, the author explains how to recreate the most intricate details of a ship, from funnels and masts to hatches and ventilators and the smallest deck fittings. He draws attention to the important and significant details on full-sized ships and then explains how to make, fit and finish these on the scale model. The second half of the book goes on to describe painting techniques and explain how hulls, superstructures and the mass of detail can be finished off to professional standards. This practical book will prove a revelation for all those modellers, whatever their proficiency, who seek to perfect that final and intricate component on their scale ship and transform their work to museum or near-museum standard.

Book Synopsis Ship Models from Kits by : David Griffith
Download or read book Ship Models from Kits written by David Griffith and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 229 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Ship Models from the Age of Sail by : Kerry Jang
Download or read book Ship Models from the Age of Sail written by Kerry Jang and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast majority of period ship models are built from kits, usually primarily of wood with some ready-made fittings. Although these commercial offerings have improved significantly in recent years, all of them can be enhanced in accuracy or detail by an experienced modelmaker. This book, by an expert ship modeller, distils lessons gleaned from a lifetime practising the hobby to the highest standards, setting out methods of improving basic kits and gradually developing the skills and confidence to tackle the construction of a model from scratch. Using a variety of kits as the starting point, each chapter demonstrates a technique that can be readily improved or a feature that can be replaced to the advantage of the finished model. Topics include hull planking, representing copper sheathing, many aspects of more accurate masting and rigging, and how to replace kit parts and fittings from scratch. Ultimately, the impact of a period model depends on its accuracy, and the book also provides guidance on plans and references, where to find them and how they are best used. The plank-on-frame model, sometimes with exposed frames in the Navy Board style, has always been considered the crowning achievement of period ship modeling, and this book concludes with coverage of the very latest kits that put fully framed models within the reach of ordinary mortals. Offering advice, expertise and inspiration, Ship Models from the Age of Sail has something for anyone interested in building a period ship model, whatever their level of skill.

With a focus on the popular kit scales of 1/700 and 1/350 in the waterline style, this book demonstrates the techniques used in building model ships, from the basic to the more complex, larger-scale models requiring many differing skills. There are chapters on the fundamentals such as building resin kits, painting and weathering, rigging and creating a water effect. It provides guidance on more advanced techniques such as the use of photo-etched parts and creating rough-water effects. Finally, it is packed with helpful tips and finishing touches, such as making flags and how to take professional-standard photographs of your completed model.
Book Synopsis Ship Modeling Simplified: Tips and Techniques for Model Construction from Kits by : Frank Mastini
Download or read book Ship Modeling Simplified: Tips and Techniques for Model Construction from Kits written by Frank Mastini and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 1990-03-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ship Modeling Simplified, master model builder Frank Mastini puts to paper the methods he's developed over 30 years at the workbench to help novices take their first steps in an exciting pastime. You don't need the deftness of a surgeon or the vocabulary of an old salt to build a model. What you need is an understanding coach. Mastini leads readers from the mysteries of choosing a kit and setting up a workshop through deciphering complicated instructions and on to painting, decorating, and displaying finished models--with patience and clarity, not condescension. He reveals dozens of shortcuts: How to plank a hull "egg-shell tight"; how to build and rig complicated mast assmeblies without profanity; how to create sails that look like sails. . . . And along the way he points out things that beginners usually do wrong--beforehand, not after they've taken hammers to their projects. Ship Modeling Simplified even includes an Italian-English dictionary of nautical terms, the key to assembling the many high-quality Italian kits on the American market. Model building is fun, and not nearly as difficult as some experts would have you believe. Here is everything you'll ever need to get started in a hobby that will last a lifetime.

Download or read book Ship Dioramas written by David Griffith and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Ship Models from Kits “has brought nautical scenes to life in his latest book” (Daily Record). This book is about the art of displaying waterline models. By their very nature, ship models that do not show the full hull and are not mounted on an artificial stand cry out for a realistic setting. At its most basic this can be just a representation of the sea itself, but to give the model a context to tell some sort of story is far more challenging. In a diorama, the composition is a vital element and this book devotes much of its space to what works and what does not—and illustrates with photographic examples why the best maritime dioramas have visual power and how to achieve that impact. Individual chapters explore themes like having small craft in attendance on the main subject, multiple-model scenarios, dockyards and naval bases, and the difficulties of replicating naval combat realistically. It also looks at both extremes of modelmaking ambition: the small single-ship exposition and the largest, most ambitious projects of the kind meant for museum display. The book concludes with some of the most advanced concepts of how to create drama and the illusion of movement, and how to manipulate perspective. David Griffith’s book is “compelling and inspiring . . . littered with practical examples of work in progress, simple dioramas to the most complex . . . I highly recommend it to all ship modellers without hesitation” (Scale Modelling Now).
