Rockets and spacecraft were among the very first models made as commercial kits, and although never as numerous as aircraft, ships or road vehicles, the many kits produced over the years provide a fascinating niche in the world of model-making. The build-ups in this book reflect the current situation with spacecraft modelling; although there are still a number of conventional all-plastic kits available, there is also a growing range that uses more specialist materials, especially resins. The book explains the various techniques required when dealing with these non-traditional materials. A detailed step-by-step guide to building spacecraft in miniature. Explains the various techniques required when dealing with non-traditional specialist materials. Lavishly illustrated with 350 colour photographs throughout. Mat Irvine has been building model spacecraft for many years as a hobby and for television.
