Nowadays, the model ship builder always starts with a modular model. The renowned manufacturers offer numerous options for a relatively inexpensive and simple start. At some point, they go on a test drive to model waters and to meetings of model building clubs - and there they see their painstakingly built model lined up in multiples. The model builder decides to choose one that is a little rarer for the next model. There is a solution to this problem, because construction kits can be strongly individualised with sometimes very little means. From the content: • The construction kit selection • The conversion and customisation of various kit models from: Billing Boats, Deans Marine, Graupner, Krick, Model Slipway, robbe, Sievers Modellbau. • Marine models for individualisation • Conversion ideas for naval units • Modify and improve models of the DGzRS • Extreme conversions on a modular basis • Create unique models with little effort
Creating Realistic Landscapes for Model Railways
The landscape through which railways run is often the inspiration and reason why people choose to model a particular line. Therefore creating a realistic setting in which to operate your railway is an essential aspect of modelling, yet it is often overlooked or left until the last moment. Creating authentic and believable scenery without spending a fortune or buying it 'ready made' is a skill that, with patience and understanding, can be achieved by anyone. In Creating Realistic Landscapes for Model Railways, highly skilled landscape modeller Tony Hill shows you, through step-by-step photo sequences and clear instructions, how you too can re-create a realistic landscape for your model railway. With chapters on modelling trees, grass, water, fences, rock, walls and hedges, this book will tell you everything you need to know to design and create a unique and special setting in which to operate your model railway. Superbly illustrated with 395 colour photographs.
