The majority of warship modellers work in smaller scales, most
often based on plastic or resin kits. Many of these harbour
ambitions to tackle something larger and more demanding, but are
daunted by the challenge. The aim of this book is to persuade them
that it not as difficult as it may seem, that they already possess
the basic skills required, and that they can acquire any necessary
new knowledge as they proceed. The discussion focuses on the
journey from conventional plastic kits to questions of deciding on
a subject; choosing a kit, semi-kit or build from scratch; what
conventional kit building skills transfer - and how these
conventional skills such as painting techniques and an eye for
detail can be brought to large scale model building so that scale
fidelity is not sacrificed but enhanced. Novel requirements like
research, obtaining plans and sourcing material or fittings are all
covered. The second part describes building methods, including the
latest techniques like casting fittings in resin, and applies to
both static and radio-controlled working models. All the colour
photos were taken specifically to illustrate the points made in
each chapter, so the book demonstrates as well as describes. It
concludes with a gallery of superb models intended to inspire the
would-be large scale warship modeller to take the plunge.
