Looks at modelling, going back to the basics for making a successful automobile model, with many processes applicable to models of other forms of transport. The book is designed to provide readers with encouragement and know-how for both the model-maker taking his first steps beyond the boxed kit, and the experienced craftsman wishing to refine his art. Chapters cover first steps, including tools and materials needed, as well as soldering techniques, how to photograph real-size cars, make plans, tyres and wheels, classics, bodywork and the engine. The final chapter takes readers through all the processes in a logical order to produce a particular car, the example chosen being a 1933 "J" Duesenberg.
