Book excerpt: When America entered World War Two the armed forces needed tools to teach soldiers, sailors and airmen how to recognize friendly and enemy ships. The solution was found in recognition models. Produced by a few small manufacturers these models formed a key component in training programs during the war and became sought after collectables in the post-war years. The first book devoted to the story of the wartime recogntiion models, Ship Models for the Military covers all of the major producers tracing their origins and the role each company played in the wartime model program. The well known 1:500 Teacher models and the 1:1200 miniature models are covered in depth along with the mostly forgotten 1:600 scale models. Over 100 illustrations showing models and training materials are included. Collectors will find the comprehensive listings of models produced, set compositions and auction pricing data of great value.

Download or read book Ship Dioramas written by David Griffith and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 even to tell some sort of story is far more challenging. This is the province of the diorama, which at its most effective is a depiction of a scene or an event in which the ship model takes centre stage. As with a painting, 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 ambitions projects of the kind meant for museum display. The book concludes with some of the most advanced concepts how to create drama and the illusion of movement, and how to manipulate perspective. Illustrated throughout with colour photos, the more abstract discussion is backed with practical 'how to' sections, so anyone who builds waterline ship model will benefit from reading this book. As featured in 'Glasgow Now'.

Book Synopsis Battleship Bismarck by : William H. Garzke
Download or read book Battleship Bismarck written by William H. Garzke and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 968 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A complete operational history of the Bismarck . . . with period photos [and] underwater photography of the wreck, allowing a forensic analysis of the damage.” —Seapower This new book offers a forensic analysis of the design, operation, and loss of Germany’s greatest battleship, drawing on survivors’ accounts and the authors’ combined decades of experience in naval architecture and command at sea. Their investigation into every aspect of this battleship is informed by painstaking research, including extensive interviews and correspondence with the ship’s designers and the survivors of the battle of the Denmark Strait and Bismarck’s final battle. Albert Schnarke, the former gunnery officer of Tirpitz, Bismarck’s sister ship, aided the authors greatly by translating and supplying manuscript materials from those who participated in the design and operations. Survivors of Bismarck’s engagements contributed to this comprehensive study including D.B.H. Wildish, RN, damage control officer aboard HMS Prince of Wales, who located photographs of battle damage to his ship. After the wreck was discovered in 1989, the authors served as technical consultants to Dr. Robert Ballard, who led three trips to the site. Filmmaker and explorer James Cameron has also contributed a chapter, giving a comprehensive overview of his deep-sea explorations on Bismarck and sharing his team’s remarkable photos of the wreck. The result of nearly six decades of research and collaboration, this is an “encyclopedic and engrossing” account (Naval Historical Foundation) of the events surrounding one of the most epic naval battles of World War II. And Battleship Bismarck finally resolves some of the major questions around her career, not least the most profound one of all: Who sank the Bismarck, the British or the Germans?
