This invaluable, well-illustrated book is essential reading for all those who are interested in developing their modelling skills and creating realistic models of country houses, cottages and farm buildings for their railway layouts. The author encourages and inspires the reader and, moreover, emphasizes that railway modellers can achieve their objectives without purchasing expensive materials Indeed, all the materials recommended in the book are either recycled or can be obtained quite cheaply. Topics covered include: . The materials and equipment required to build models; . Modelling methods and construction techniques; . Painting, weathering and finishing; . Creating a sympathetic setting for your models; . Improving kits and 'off-the-shelf' models. The author presents in detail three different rural, scratch-built projects and, in a separate appendix, provides a colour reference guide, thus enabling the modeller to apply the correct colours and shades in order to create authentic and convincing-looking model buildings. AUTHOR: David Wright is a professional artist and model maker who has created many models of rural buildings for model railway enthusiasts, museums and businesses. David has written numerous articles for railway magazines and provides hands-on experience at railway modelling workshops. In addition, he has completed two DVDs, one of which dealt with modelling rural buildings, and is well known at the major railway modelling exhibitions providing demonstrations to the visiting public.
