Download or read book Ship Modeling from Scratch Tips and Techniques for Building Without Kits written by Edwin B. Leaf and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 1993-10-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building a model from a kit is an excellent way to develop your modeling skills. But once you've mastered the basics, where do you go? If you're looking for a challenge, you move on to scratchbuilding. And that can be imposing: With a kit, you worked with someone else's plans, materials, and building instructions. Scratchbuilding makes you master of your own fate. You do the research, choose the subject, the scale, the material. The choices are limited only by your enthusiasm. Edwin B. Leaf scratchbuilt his first model--a Baltimore clipper--nearly fifty years ago, and he's been refining and building on his skills ever since. In Ship Modeling from Scratch he lays out the principles--from concept to construction to display--on which scratchbuilding is based. In clear, concise language complemented by detailed illustrations he tells how to interpret existing drawings or create your own, what materials to choose, what tools to buy, and what techniques to use to build everything from plank-on-frame, plank-on-bulkhead, or modern steel hulls to creating sharp and properly scaled details--paint to portholes. Building a model from scratch is a singular pursuit that requires patience, confidence, and ingenuity. With Ship Modeling from Scratch open on your workbench, you have your own private tutor guiding you through the troublespots. Ship Modeling from Scratch expands the horizon of any kit builder looking for a challenge, including choosing the right subject finding and interpreting historical material building from plans drawing scaled plans from photographs buying tools and materials building everything from half models to plank-on-frame or plank-on-bulkhead versions of traditional sailing craft to modern steel cargo ships painting and displaying your model
Download or read book Ship Models from Kits written by Dr David Griffith and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past thirty years the world of model kits has undergone a veritable revolution. New techniques in injection moulding have improved the scale accuracy and surface detail of the humble plastic kit, while many specialist companies now produce top-quality resin models, vastly broadening the range of subjects on the market. However, the really radical change has been the advent of photo-etched brass fret, which allows the finest detail to be reproduced to scale. In ship modelling, this has resulted in a new form of the hobby, mid-way between traditional build-from-the-box simplicity and the time-consuming demands of fabricating everything from scratch. These new materials have prompted innovative techniques, which are comprehensively demonstrated in this new manual. Designed for those wishing to achieve the best results from their ship kits in the 1:700 to 1:350 range of scales, it uses step by step photographs to take the reader through the building of two models, one in plastic and one in resin, from basic construction, fittings and detailing, to painting, finishing and display. Written by a highly experienced, award-winning ship modeller, the book is a showcase for the contemporary approach to the hobby.
Download or read book Model Marine Steam written by Stan Bray and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stan Bray provides all the information a ship modeler needs to power a model boat using a live steam power plant. A model engineer and author of wide experience, including editorship of the magazine Model Engineers' Workshop, Bray offers detailed drawings for the construction of simple and advanced steam engines, boilers, and ancillary equipment. Many types of engines--from simple oscillating cylinder to piston and poppet valve--along with the application of radio control to the management of the boiler and engine are covered. Given the huge growth in interest in live steam powered model boats in recent years and the lack of practical details available, the plans and information included in this book will be welcomed by modelers everywhere.
Download or read book Fascination of Model Shipbuilding written by Günther Slansky and published by Verlag für Technik und Handwerk. This book was released on with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In model shipbuilding, (almost) nothing is impossible. Almost everything that has ever sailed the waters can also be built as a model – sometimes only with greater effort. Günther Slansky is a model builder who is particularly enthusiastic about the diversity of the hobby. In his more than fifty-year modelling career, he has built everything he liked, from submarines to pontoons and from tugs to tall ships. In this book, he lets you participate in the building of these models and gives tips on how to master special challenges for each individual model. At the same time, the book is also a kaleidoscope of the diversity and history of model shipbuilding - its changes and developments over time.

Download or read book Model ships with jet propulsion written by Gerhard O. W. Fischer and published by Verlag für Technik und Handwerk. This book was released on with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RC ship models with jet propulsion or water jet propulsion, as you can also say, have been around for many years, but unfortunately only a few model ship builders have familiarised themselves with this type of propulsion. Once you have read this book and seen the many illustrations of jet models, you will also be one of the jet-enthusiastic RC model ship builders. The author explains the technology and you will find that building a jet-powered RC model ship is no more difficult than building a model with conventional propulsion. Numerous pictures illustrate the construction and conversion of models, so that every beginner will be able to venture into building a jet-powered RC ship model. From the content: • How a jet propulsion system works • First model ship kits with jet propulsion • A company specialises in jet propulsion • Building instructions for RC ship models with jet propulsion • Jet models from Kehrer material sets • Model Ruban Bleu with one jet engine • Model Antipodean with two jet engines • Model SAR 33 with three jet drives • Other models with Kehrer jet drives • Model Motor Yacht Thor • Model HMCC Sentinel • Model Florida-Jet • Model Rapido 600-Jet • Experimental model Wave Explorer-Jet • Racing catamaran Powerkat-Jet • Pictures of some more Kehrer-Jet models • Multi Jet-Boat from Graupner

Download or read book Ship Modeling Simplified Tips and Techniques for Model Construction from Kits written by Frank Mastini and published by International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press. This book was released on 1990-03-22 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ship Modeling Simplified, master model builder Frank Mastini puts to paper the methods he's developed over 30 years at the workbench to help novices take their first steps in an exciting pastime. You don't need the deftness of a surgeon or the vocabulary of an old salt to build a model. What you need is an understanding coach. Mastini leads readers from the mysteries of choosing a kit and setting up a workshop through deciphering complicated instructions and on to painting, decorating, and displaying finished models--with patience and clarity, not condescension. He reveals dozens of shortcuts: How to plank a hull "egg-shell tight"; how to build and rig complicated mast assmeblies without profanity; how to create sails that look like sails. . . . And along the way he points out things that beginners usually do wrong--beforehand, not after they've taken hammers to their projects. Ship Modeling Simplified even includes an Italian-English dictionary of nautical terms, the key to assembling the many high-quality Italian kits on the American market. Model building is fun, and not nearly as difficult as some experts would have you believe. Here is everything you'll ever need to get started in a hobby that will last a lifetime.
