{"product_id":"9781785008504","title":"Modelling Naval Ships in Small Scales by Mike McCabe","description":"This book provides a wealth of practical guidance on building and painting realistic model naval ships aimed at those who are new to this hobby through to the experienced modeller.  An in-depth look at the creation of four models is included: the Type 45 destroyer HMS Daring (Dragon), the pre-war aircraft carrier USS Wasp (Aoshima), the River-class frigate HMS Nadder (Starling Models) and the 'pocket battleship' Admiral Graf Spee (Academy).  With a focus on the popular kit scales of 1\/700 and 1\/350 in the waterline style, this book demonstrates the techniques used in building model ships, from the basic to the more complex, larger-scale models requiring many differing skills.  There are chapters on the fundamentals such as building resin kits, painting and weathering, rigging and creating a water effect.  It provides guidance on more advanced techniques such as the use of photo-etched parts and creating rough-water effects.  Finally, it is packed with helpful tips and finishing touches, such as making flags and how to take professional-standard photographs of your completed model.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305348936053,"sku":"9781785008504","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781785008504.jpg?v=1762797366","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781785008504","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
