Ship Modelling Solutions
About the bookBrian 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 and 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 and modelling; photographing your models; and
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 and learn.Content listIntroduction Photo Etching for the Clueless Toolin up - Jigs Toolin up - Fixtures Press Tooling Working to Dimensions The Art of the Masque Acquiring a Finish The Black Art of Soldering Lathe Problems Odds and Sods - Rifflers, Files, Drilling Perspex, Paint Spraying using the Lathe Davits Aerosol Paint Spraying Cowl Ventilators Main Armament Fittings Developing Compound Angled Shapes Shrouds and Ratlines Ships Boats - Open Boats Ships Boats - Closed Boats The Bread and Butter Hull - Part 1 The Bread and Butter Hull - Part 2 Finishing the Hull - Part 1 Finishing the Hull - Part 2
