Model-Making: Materials and Methods is intended to be most useful for students or professionals starting out in any discipline for which accurate scale models are a necessary part of the process - theatre or film design, special effects, animation, architecture or interior design, to name a few. However, it is in another sense simply about the challenge of making small-scale forms, regardless of their purpose. It should therefore be of interest to anyone involved with the process of making forms in 3D. 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.
