This book provides a wealth of practical guidance on building and
painting realistic model naval ships aimed at those who are new to
this hobby through to the experienced modeller. An in-depth look at
the creation of four models is included: the Type 45 destroyer HMS
Daring (Dragon), the pre-war aircraft carrier USS Wasp (Aoshima),
the River-class frigate HMS Nadder (Starling Models) and the
'pocket battleship' Admiral Graf Spee (Academy). 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.
