Scale models

Book

‘Creating Model Buildings in 4mm and 7mm scales’

HOME PAGE

138 pages, all in full colour.

Both 4mm and 7mm scales are shown with a rich variety of different models in the two scales.

There are plenty of pictures of my completed models, as well as construction pictures for both 4mm and 7mm scales. These are supplemented by text, explaining how I achieved the various models. Painting techniques and how to paint embossed sheet brick and stone walls are shown and explained.

Also hand-carved stonework, using a scriber and the application of modelling clay are shown, along with rendered wall finishes.

The book is also really suitable for modellers who haven’t made any buildings in plastic before and want to know where to start, as there is a whole chapter on making a small terrace from scratch with pictures and text.

Chapters on Research, Tools and Materials and a list of suppliers are also included.

A complete list of my etched-brass items, such as windows and doors, are listed at the back of the book with small pics of them. (This list is up-to-date on publication). See the etches page on this site for recent additions, along with a price list.
