Through rich and varied imagery from the Market Deeping club, British and international examples, a number of different styles of scenery are covered. Subject chapters include locations from open country to heavy industry. Background and foreground tricks to draw the eye, that difficult to emulate water feature, and composing your scenes as independent units for later inclusion. Use is made of construction examples as varied as a tube station in OO to a farm in N. The basics of plastic stock kit building, adapting a model with a detailing kit, as well as scratch build from spare parts are demonstrated. Whilst 3D printing feels an impossible dream for many, practical ownership and operation of both thermal extrusion and resin based 3D printers is covered. With demonstration examples from the very basic, such as taking existing designs and scaling them for your own requirements on thermal extrusion, through to a worked CAD and highly detailed resin printer output. The overall aim is to stimulate the modeller to commence that tricky project, to produce something that externalises that inner dream whilst providing some of the basics to build up both confidence and skills.  AUTHOR: David Ashwood first visited a model railway show at Central Hall Westminster in 1974 and has been through many iterations of layout type and scale through the years. Experience varies between helping run a railway centre at Southall London, through being a part time die cast and kits trader at model shows and exhibitions. He is vice Chair of the Market Deeping Model Railway Club and a member of the Gauge O Guild. He currently enjoys a model railway renaissance.   200 colour illustrations","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47900472508652,"sku":"9781399094887","price":75.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781399094887-model-building-and-super-detailing.jpg?v=1783409857"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-train-craft.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
