4.0 out of 5 stars
Open your modeling mind to new tools for new techniques
Published by Conway in the UK and distributed by the Naval Institute Press in the US, the book "Workshop Practice for Ship Modelers - A Complete Practical Guide for the Occasional Engineer" by Brian King, is a fascinating, in-depth guide to building ship models - both display and floating/operating ships. But it's much more than just a book for ship...

Picture book of common tools
If you like looking at pictures and descriptions of common wood and metal working tools this book is for you...otherwise useless.

This review is from: Workshop Practice for Ship Modellers: A Complete Practical Guide for the Occasional Engineer (Hardcover)
Published by Conway in the UK and distributed by the Naval Institute Press in the US, the book "Workshop Practice for Ship Modelers - A Complete Practical Guide for the Occasional Engineer" by Brian King, is a fascinating, in-depth guide to building ship models - both display and floating/operating ships.
But it's much more than just a book for ship modelers - it is a detailed step-by-step guide to using hand and power tools in working with wood, metal and plastic. It has lots of uses for diorama builders, scratch-builders, RC modelers and much more. It has information useful to armor modelers who want to turn their own barrels, detail fanatics who want to custom-build tiny add-on parts - basically, it has something for everybody who does more than build straight out-of-the-box. The biggest part of the book is a point-by-point discussion of specific tools and how they're used - from a plethora of saws to soldering irons. It gets into photo-etched, too, but it's real strength is in the realm of using tools (especially hobby-shop power tools). I admit I'm a tool nut. I've got Dremels out the kazoo, and every kind of hand tool I can buy, steal, or beg from my dentist. Yet this was an eye-opener, and has me lusting after my next Micro-Mart catalog so I can try out some new ideas and new approaches. Recommended! Ned Barnett
