Large Scale Warship Models by Kerry Jang Pdf

This illustrated guide presents step-by-step instructions and techniques for warship modelers ready for the challenge of building at larger scales. Many warship modelers who work in smaller scales are daunted by the challenge of tackling something larger. But in Large Scale Warship Models, expert modeler Kerry Jang demonstrates that it’s not as difficult as it may seem. In fact, any experienced modeler will already possess the basic skills required. This volume covers the essential new techniques for working in scales that capture the grandeur of actual ships. In the first part of the book, Jang discusses how to choose between a kit, a semi-kit or building from scratch. He also covers what conventional kit building skills are transferable to work on large-scale projects. Novel requirements like research, obtaining plans and sourcing material or fittings are also covered. The second part describes building methods, including the latest techniques like casting fittings in resin. These methods apply to both static and radio-controlled models. Original color photos illustrate each chapter, and the book concludes with a gallery of superb models intended to inspire the would-be large-scale warship modeler to take the plunge.

The entry into the RC ship modelling by Gerhard O.W. Fischer Pdf

Gerhard O. W. Fischer will show you how to get to your desired model of your choice. On the basis of modular models, he teaches you working methods which are always repeated for other models. In this way, what you have learned can also be transferred to other models. The author has selected 18 kit models, which have been in the program of the modeling companies for a long time and will continue to be available. will continue to be available. The selection of ship types is broad. Besides an old harbor tug and a modern sea tug, there are also working ships, a cruise ship, small and large motor yachts, high-speed speed racing boats with jet propulsion, and a submarine. From the content: General building instructions, starting with the boat stand to the hull and the RC system Construction kit models: Harbour tug Kalle - Tug Torben - Harbour master boat Kormoran Racing catamaran Powerkat - Sea Jet Evolution Motor yacht Lisa M. - Motor yacht Najade Racing boat Miami - Jet racing boat Seewind - Fishery protection boat Seefalke Nearly finished models: River patrol boat Buzzard - Sport boat Lugano racing boat Wave Explorer - motor yacht San Diego ... as well as some other bigger models for inspiration

Creative Ship Model Making by Gerhard O.W. Fischer Pdf

It is often annoying that every kit model built from the same kit of the same company is like one egg from the other. This is what creative ship modelling aims to change! Using prefabricated hulls, it is mainly a matter ofthe superstructure, which must be redesigned, sawn out and further processed and further processed, without the need for a construction template. The conversion of kit models shows how to convert ready-built models to a completely new model by converting them to jet propulsion. Finally, the author presents four examples how larger display models can be converted into real driving models to properly running RC ship models by installing a remote-control system. From the content: • Construction of models according to own designs • Building description of two creative models • Building a police boat according to own ideas • Two creative construction models - The MULTIBOAT • A speedboat and a mega luxury yacht • Conversion of kit models - The FLORIDA as a jet model • The RAPIDO 600 as a jet model • A customs cruiser and a fishery protection boat • Conversion of display models to RC models • Cruise ship QUEEN MARY 2 • Sea rescue cruiser HERMANN MARWEDE • German submarine class VII C • American submarine GATO class • REVELL RC ship model already at the end of the 50s

Micromodels-Volume 1 by Markus Christl,Thorsten Feuchter,Harry Jacobsen,Andreas Rackel,Dirk Stukenbrok Pdf

On the road and off-road, on and under water and even in the air - micro models can do everything like the big ones! Since miniaturised electronic components, tiny motors and the smallest batteries have been available, it is possible to build remote-controlled models even in H0 scale. They can drive, fly or swim, can be steered, have indicators, headlights and blue lights, compete in four-wheel drive truck trials or dive in the aquarium. The authors, all pioneers of this new fascinating hobby, show here how to get from the simple conversion of a commercially available model to the realisation of a wide range of special functions to the high school of micromodelling. There are detailed building descriptions, richly illustrated with more than 200 illustrations, for a truck with rafinesses, a bulldozer with crawler tracks, a Unimog for road and rail, a landing ship, a research submarine, a twin-engine aircraft and several more. In addition, there are explanations of the basic electrical and electronic components as well as sources of supply and useful tips and tricks for the workshop - because micromodelling requires special knowledge and skills. Discover a new challenge for talented tinkerers: micromodelling!

Police Boats and Coast Guard Ships by Gerhard O. W. Fischer Pdf

Police, customs and coast guard boats have a large number of enthusiasts among model ship builders due to their tasks, but above all due to their interesting appearance. In addition, these types of ships can be equipped with numerous special functions. Due to their usually high cruising performance, they are also ideal for those who want a fast model but do not like a yacht or a military speedboat. The model building companies have recognised this and have recently brought a number of construction kits of RC ship models of this type onto the market. Let the author Gerhard O. W. Fischer inspire you with his richly illustrated descriptions of this variant of RC ship modelling! From the content: • The tasks of the Coast Guard • Visit to the Albatros II • RC model Albatros I • Converted Coast Guard boats • Models of the U.S. Coast Guard • Police Boat W 4 • Police or Coast Guard Boat • Police and Coast Guard Boat Sylt • A police boat of own design • A pilot boat • River patrol boat Bussard • List of sources

Type VII U-Boats by Roger Chesneau Pdf

The ‘ShipCraft’ series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sister-ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic gallery of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references – books, monographs, large-scale plans and websites. This volume is devoted to the largest class of submarines ever built, the Type VII, which formed the backbone of the German effort in the critical Battle of the Atlantic. A pre-war design, the Type VII was developed as the campaign progressed and was still in frontline service in 1945. All the major variants, as well as minor changes to equipment, are covered here. With its unparalleled level of visual information – paint schemes, models, line drawings and photographs – it is simply the best reference for any modelmaker setting out to build one of these famous boats.
