DESCRIPTION:
The reader is shown how to research and select information on specific ships and how to find and understand plans.The book then turns to scale modeling with detailed chapters on choosing a subject, a scale, methods of construction, materials and techniques, and the details of fittings and painting. Warships and Warship Modelling offers an overview of the design, development, and classification of modern warship types. Together, the two sections give the model builder a deeper insight into the logic of the full-sized vessel, and the relationship between that vessel, and the realistic scale model or working model.. In the first section it analyzes the constructors' original models, explaining why and how they were made

David Wooley is from the Wirral, with family connections to the local Cammel Laird shipyard at Birkenhead where, as a boy, the sight of regular ship launches kindled a life-long passion for warships and ship modelling.

Fire the editor Nosaj Informative for those who is interested in knowing how real warships are laid down which affect how the models are represented & for those interested in R/Cing their ships. I've learn quite a few important thing from this reading. Author give adequate example of the different types as well as describing techniques to build them which can be useful for beginner scratch builders. However, they can be better serve with more illustrations on how to go about doing it. Being a season scratch builder, I know what he is talking about by the many of the techniques he describe, novice will have to experiment ar
Ten chapters, three appendices and a page of references for further reading, cover everything a warship model maker might need to know. The primary aim of their book, they claim, is to lead the reader from an 'industrial' view of ship models into an altogether different dimension, but connected by a common thread. The desire to build model ships has for centuries been well established as an aid to design, as an art form, as a presentation piece or just for the sheer pleasure of producing a small scale version of a seagoing ship. Model warship building may range from an Airfix Kit with numbered plastic parts all ready to be glued together and painted, to industrial models made by professionals which
