Scale Modeller's Handbook. Chris Ellis (Hardback) 1979 VINTAGE

SCALE MODELLER'S HANDBOOK by Chris Ellis.

Scale Modeller's Handbook is a comprehensive guide to every aspect of modelling, from building the simplest plastic kits to the most sophisticated adaptations and displays.

The beginner is given clear, precise instructions of how to put each model together and, more importantly, in what order to do it. For the more experienced modeller, there is a checklist for reference and numerous hints for improving construction methods.

The book begins with an examination of all materials and processes involved in the construction of models. There are also chapters detailing conversion projexts and listing scores of possible adaptations of the basic kit. Techniques in painting and finishing, as well as the basics of model photography and diorama construction, are carefully explained.

Numerous specially-designed modelling projects accompany the text, which is supplemented by detailed drawings and photograhs in both black and white and full colour
