About the book Brian King has earned an international reputation for the quality of his models, all built using skills initially learned during a 5-year craft apprentice-ship when he acquired the basic practical skills in both wood & metal work. These skills, allied to a natural talent, have resulted in his very complicated models of large battleships from all eras. This new book is a compilation of material originally published in the specialist hobby magazine Model Boats in which the master modeller has passed on many gems of experience to would-be builders of ship models, including: anchors; gun barrels; porthole; decking; rudders; propellers; fittings; turrets; basic hull; close-up on life saving gear; cowl ventilators; computers & modelling; photographing your models; & working to

Dimensions. A lifetime of modelling experience is contained within these pages. There are few modellers, expert or novice, who will not benefit from this opportunity to read & learn. Content list Introduction Photo Etching for the Clueless Toolin up

Pride of the collection are the rare British dockyard models made to scale for affluent 18th-century clients closely associated with the Navy. A large number of models
- made from wood & bone, with rigging of human hair
- were made by some of the 120, 000 French & other prisoners of the Napoleonic Wars. The diverse collection also

Includes:: tugs, dredgers, trawlers, cargo vessels, passenger steamers, private yachts, corvettes, battleships, cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers & two aircraft carriers. The author (curator at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich) considers the rich history & the artistry of model shipbuilding. New photography captures the incredible workmanship
- the carving, casting, gilding & stitching
- that such model-making demands.

Roger Chesneau• Everything the ship modeller needs to know about building a famous warship• Numerous detailed plans & colour illustrations• Focuses on very popular modelling subjects which are represented by a wide selection of kits The ‘ Ship Craft’ series provides in-depth information about building & modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject class, using scale plans to highlight differences between sisterships & changes in their appearance over their careers, then moves to an extensive photographic survey of either a high-quality model or a surviving example of the ship. Hints on building the model, & on modifying & improving the basic kit, are followed by a section on paint schemes & camouflage, featuring numerous colour profiles & highly-detailed line drawings. The strengths & weaknesses of available kits of the ships are reviewed, & the book concludes with a section on research references
- books, monographs, large-scale plans & relevant websites. For the first volume in this series, the author has chosen the German ‘pocket battleships’ of WW2, the best-known of which was the Graf Spee of Battle of the River Plate fame. This innovative & infamous class of surface raiders has long been a popular subject for ship modellers, many manufacturers producing kits of the Graf Spee & the rather different Admiral Scheer & Lützow. This book will show ship modellers how to turn their kits into something really special, but its unparalleled level of visual information will also appeal to the more general warship enthusiast. Roger Chesneau is a lifelong ship modeller & author of numerous naval books, including Ship Models in Plastic.
