Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Dioramas are invariably associated with scale models, providing a setting or background for a completed kit, though arguably the scenery and buildings on a model railway layout is essentially, a very large diorama. The techniques and materials used are much the same whether you wish to create a landscape through which the track of a classic English branch line will run or a smaller base displaying a Hawker Hurricane being readied for take-off, a Panther tank stuck in the mud of a battlefield or a Monte Carlo Mini in the snow.This book shows how you can create interesting dioramas irrespective as to what you are modelling. It looks at the materials required for building dioramas, primarily tools, paints and glues. Similar skills and techniques are required to create everything from simple bases that contain only a few items, to larger structures that need far more work and effort in their creation. It covers the materials that can be used to create earth, vegetation and water - from seas and oceans, to what you may find in a bucket. It also deals with landscaping, creating a miniature world as the setting for your models. The building of specific dioramas as settings for museums exhibits, architectural and educational projects is explored as are forced-perspective dioramas where, though the majority of the elements that make up a scene will be in the same scale, parts of it will not be to create the illusion of distance.Once you have the materials and the knowledge, as the author says in his Introduction, there is really only one rule when it comes to building model dioramas, your imagination.

Paperback. Condition: New. Bring to life America's most amazing space projects that never were, using highly illustrated step-by-step guides.The major American space programmes that carried crews are well known. From Mercury, Gemini and Apollo in the 1960s and into the 1970s, through to the 1980s Space Shuttle, which made its final flight in 2011, they have all made their mark - even the North American X-15 rocket plane that earned many of its pilots their Astronaut Wings, owing to its high-altitude capability. All these involved a lot of new hardware, including the Saturn rockets, the Apollo craft and the Shuttle Orbiter with its solid-fuel rocket boosters and giant external tank. During this time of actual missions, space scientists and engineers were also looking at how all these new techniques and hardware could be put to even greater use. Many plans were devised, artwork drawn and technical models produced to illustrate the proposals. However, none were ever built and certainly none ever flew. This book looks at what could have been and how they can be built as models to display alongside those that did actually fly.Lost American Projects - A Spacecraft Modeller's Guide is a follow-on to Mat Irvine's earlier book, Scale Spacecraft Modelling.

Hardback. Condition: New. Model-making is centuries old, but the introduction of polystyrene - a stable plastic - in the mid-20th century, provided the opportunity to make the 'plastic construction kit' available to the amateur model-maker. Nearly 70 years later, despite suffering from ups-and-downs, the vibrant plastic model-making scene has grown tremendously and is now a world-wide hobby., This manual takes the reader through how modern model kits are designed and manufactured, how the scale is decided upon (most modern kits are made to established scales so that models and accessories are compatible with one another), as well as providing advice on model-building tools and techniques. The down-to-earth text, complemented by numerous photographs, provides details of the ideal 'workshop' set-up for building models; tools and adhesives required; paint types and application techniques - from brushing to using aerosol cans, airbrushing and paint booths; the wide variety of decals available, and how to make your own; basic building techniques, and how to construct dioramas to put models into an appropriate 'setting'., In recent years the growth of 'multi-material' kits has become far more common, and details are provided of 'non-plastic' materials, such as resins, white metal and photo-etch parts, all of which need to be dealt with slightly differently to polystyrene., A comprehensive introduction for those new to model-making, along with expert advice for those already experienced in making models who wish to hone their skills., . The world of model making History of model-making, kit manufacture, scales, model ranges., . Model building Places to work, tools, adhesives, paint, decals, basic building techniques, displays and dioramas, advanced techniques and alternative materials, collecting kits, clubs, competition, displays and photography., . Useful contacts Model companies and suppliers., Author: Mat Irvine has been involved with model making over most of his lifetime. He moved from 'amateur' to 'professional', when he joined the BBC Visual Effects Department. Here, the work covered all aspects of special effects, including model making, and he designed 'miniature' sequences for Doctor Who and Blake's 7, and science programmes including Tomorrow's World, Horizon and The Sky at Night., Mat regularly appeared in front of cameras for Saturday morning programmes such as Swap Shop and Saturday Superstore, demonstrating model-building techniques., Mat has acted as a consultant with many of the model-making companies around the world. He has written 15 books, a number on model building, and many hundreds of articles for model magazines.

Condition: Fair. At one time, assembling model kit cars was considered a childish hobby. Today, however, it is an adult activity with a vast following around the world. Subsequently, a large cottage industry has developed to supply the demands of modellers who want more than kit manufacturers can supply. Written in an easy-to-read style, this book's chapters address each of the following:-- A history of the model car industry-- The practicalities of modelling, from assembling a basic kit to super-detailing (i.e., adding engine wiring, brake lines, and "chrome")-- Painting and finishing-- Creating dioramas-- Renovating old kits and collecting rare onesAlthough Mat Concentrates on the most popular 1:25 and 1:32 scales, all of the information included is relevant to other scales. And it will be of interest to the novice and experienced modeller alike; the former will learn useful skills, while the latter will hone skills already gained. A gallery of photos showing Mat's finest models provides inspiration and ideas for all modellers.; Bovenzijde rug iets beschadigd, verder prima.
