Synopsis

This book on Architectural Modelling in 4mm Scale was first published in 1983 by Wild Swan Publications and its aim is to create a realistic town layout in 4mm scale where the onlooker can imagine themselves walking through the setting and even wanting to live there! The book includes a selection of drawings of buildings and photographs of the models which were made, but it also details how the reader could go about making their own scale drawings of buildings in their local area, just using for example a camera, sketchpad, two ball pens or pencil, a yard stick and 50ft or 100ft tape.
