ISBN | 152679392X |
A guide for collectors and modelers—packed with photos, technical information, practical advice, and history. The origins of 1/1250 and 1/1200 scale models can be traced back to the first years of the twentieth century and their use as identification aids by the military during the First World War. When peace came, the manufacturers aimed their increasingly sophisticated products at collectors, and ever since then acquiring, enhancing, modifying, or scratch-building miniature ship models has been an avidly pursued hobby around the world. This new book focuses on models of the ships of the Second World War, and the author addresses all the practical issues that might confront collectors who like to enhance, convert, and modify their models, or even scratch-build models of ships not commercially available. The book covers both Allied and Axis warships, naval airplanes, merchant conversions, and even an Italian armed schooner, and provides historic and technical information on the ships represented as well as practical advice on modeling them—including twenty-five chapters covering everything from initial production techniques such as spin casting, silicon mold casting, resin casting, die-casting, plastic mold injection, and 3D printing through techniques for enhancing and modifying models to eventually researching and scratch-building an uncommon ship or type. The focus is always on particular vessels and the vast array covered builds into a fascinating panorama of the vessels that fought across the world’s oceans in that era. The combination of intriguing background and historical information, combined with detailed practical information and more than 300 stunning photographs, makes this book irresistible to collectors, modelers, or anyone with an interest in the navies of the Second World War.
