How (not) to paint a locomotive
by Christopher Vine.
Published by Christopher Vine.
This is the book which was written by Christophere Vine after he had
struggled for nearly two years to paint his live steam locomotive.
He made a lot of mistakes along the way and found there was almost nothing
written which was of use to model engineers. After winning a gold medal at
the model engineer exhibition in 2004 and also the Charles Kennion Memorial cup
for the best finished model in the show, he was encouraged by the chief judge,
to write down what he had found out along the way. This book is the
result.
Learn from the author's mistakes. It's well worth the cost of the book
to avoid just one of his many errors. What can go wrong? How about
paint runs, drips, insects, unwanted water drops, rough finish, dust, bad paint,
wrong humidity, bad technique.
It covers choice of equipment, making a spray booth, paint, preparation,
spray painting, hand painting, lining, transfers, a list of suppliers and
more...
Model Engineer Magazine said: "This really is the book we've been waiting for
years to see. It gives chapter and verse on how to get a great finish on
your model. How often have we seen super models spoilt by a poor paint
job. It is quite simply the best practical book for model engineers we
have seen for decades."
Hardcover, 168 pages, 130 color photographs, 30 diagrams. |
