Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling Ships and Space Craft: The Science and Art of Mastering the Oceans and Sky begins with the theories of Aristotle and Archimedes, moving on to examine the work of Froude and Taylor, the early aviators and the Wright Brothers, Goddard and the other rocket men, and the computational fluid dynamic models of our time. It examines the ways each used fluid dynamic principles in the design of their vessels. In the process, this book covers the history of hydrodynamic (aero and fluid) theory and its progression – with some very accessible science examples – including seminal theories. Hydrodynamic principles in action are also explored with examples from nature and the works of man. This is a book for anyone interested in the history of technology – specifically the methods and science behind the use of scale models and hydrodynamic principles in the marine and aeronautical designs of today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rockets and spacecraft were among the very first models made as commercial kits, and although never as numerous as aircraft, ships or road vehicles, the many kits produced over the years provide a fascinating niche in the world of model-making. The build-ups in this book reflect the current situation with spacecraft modelling; although there are still a number of conventional all-plastic kits available, there is also a growing range that uses more specialist materials, especially resins. The book explains the various techniques required when dealing with these non-traditional materials. Scale Spacecraft Modelling also covers scratch building and adaptation, the techniques needed to make those pristine models really dirty to match the ones you see in the movies, and the design and construction of realist dioramas and settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science fiction is more popular now than it has ever been, as seen by the number of interesting and imaginative science-fiction books, magazines, movies, and television shows produced each year. The scale modeling world has embraced the science-fiction phenomenon by offering a number of detailed and creative scale-model spaceship and diorama kits. In How To Build Sci-Fi Model Spacecraft, author Richard Marmo guides readers through a number of step-by-step buildups of styrene and resin kits. He offers helpful advice on subjects from basic kit assembly to more advanced methods like combining kits and customizing kits with unique, scratch-built pieces. Readers will learn the creative methods that allow them to add a personal touch to their kit and increase its overall detail, quality, and accuracy.
