Synopsis

Brian King has earned an international reputation for the quality of his models, all built using skills initially learned during a 5-year craft apprentice-ship when he acquired the basic practical skills in both wood and metal work. These skills, allied to a natural talent, have resulted in his very complicated models of large battleships from all eras. This book is a compilation of material originally published in the specialist hobby magazine Model Boats in which the master modeller has passed on many gems of experience to would-be builders of ship models, including anchors, gun barrels, portholes, decking, rudders, propellors, fittings; turrets; basic hulls; close-up on life saving gear; cowl ventilators; computers and modelling, photographing your models and working to dimensions. A lifetime of modelling experience is contained within these pages. There are few modellers, expert or novice, who will not benefit from this opportunity to read and learn. Previous books by Brian King include Advanced Ship Modelling (2000; 1-85486-122-0) and Photo Etching (2005; 1-85486-237-5).

About this title

From the Back Cover

Brian King has earned an international reputation for the
quality of his models built using skills initially learnt during the course
of a 5-year craft apprenticeship where he acquired the basic practical
skills in both wood and metal work.
These allied to a natural talent have been the source of his mostly very
complicated models of large battleships. He is particularly interested in
warships of the late Victoria era, which he thinks has largely been ignored
by ship modellers hitherto. He is a great exponent of the art of metal
etching about which, with Azien Watkin, he has written two books. This book
is a compilation of articles contributed by Brian to Model Boats magazine
over a period of years in which this master modeller has passed on many
gems to would-be builders of ship modellers.
A lifetime of modelling experience is contained within these pages, there
are few modellers who will not benefit from the opportunity to read and
learn.
