Model-making: Materials and Methods focuses primarily on the wide variety of materials that can be employed to make models; those which have been favoured for a while and those which are relatively new. The book looks at how these materials behave and how to get the best out of them, then illustrates a range of relatively simple methods of building, shaping, modelling, surfacing and painting with them.Useful features of the book include:The different uses of models in various disciplinesThe sequence of making; planning and construction, creating surfaces, painting and finishingMethods of casting, modelling and working with metalsStep-by-step accounts of the making of specially selected examplesSimple techniques without the need for expensive tools or workshop facilitiesA 'Directory' of a full range of materials, together with an extensive list of suppliers
