Model railways
Learn to use inexpensive materials such as paper, cardboard and foam board to create unique structures, landscaping and backgrounds on model train layouts and other scale model projects such as school and historical dioramas and slot car tracks. This book nicludes strategies, tips and step-by-step instructions for creating paper-based scenery and structures for use in any scale model project or display. It also includes materials and instructions to create six practical projects. Paper models can be just as realistic as plastic models and cost only a fraction of the price. Paper-based scenery is also easier to cut and can be assembled using simple white glues and glue sticks rather than harsh chemical adhesives. This book features the following topics: history of paper models and scenery, uses for paper-based scenery, understanding different paper materials, weights and coatings, adhesives and bases, building structures, creating the illusion of depth and more. The book also includes instructions and materials to complete several practical projects including a flat front building, railroad crossing, small pond and a rural bait and tackle shop.
