Modelling Naval Ships in Small Scales provides a wealth of practical guidance on building and painting realistic model naval ships aimed at those who are new to this hobby through to the experienced modeller。

An in-depth look at the creation of four models is included
The Type 45 destroyer HMS Daring （Dragon）
The pre-war aircraft carrier USS Wasp （Aoshima）
The River-class frigate HMS Nadder （Starling Models） and
The 'pocket battleship' Admiral Graf Spee （Academy）。

With a focus on the popular kit scales of 1/700 and 1/350 in the waterline style， this book demonstrates the techniques used in building model ships， from the basic to the more complex， larger-scale models requiring many differing skills。 There are chapters on the fundamentals such as building resin kits， painting and weathering， rigging and creating a water effect。 It provides guidance on more advanced techniques such as the use of photo-etched parts and creating rough-water effects。 Finally， it is packed with helpful tips and finishing touches， such as making flags and how to take professional-standard photographs of your completed model。
