Model-making: Materials and Methods focuses primarily on the wide variety of materials that can be employed to make models; those which have been favoured for a while and those which are relatively new. The book looks at how these materials behave and how to get the best out of them; then illustrates a range of relatively simple methods of building; shaping; modelling; surfacing and painting with them. Useful features of the book include: the different uses of models in various disciplines; the sequence of making; planning and construction; creating surfaces; painting and finishing; methods of casting; modelling and working with metals; step-by-step accounts of the making of specially selected examples; simple techniques without the need for expensive tools or workshop facilities; a Directory of a full range of materials; together with an extensive list of suppliers. This book is intended for students of theatre production; art architecture; animation and theatre/television set designers where accurate scale models are necessary; and is also of interest to anyone involved with the process of making forms in 3D and the challenge of making small-scale forms in general. Superbly illustrated with 185 colour photographs.
