Haynes Model Builders Manual

SKU: H6555

This comprehensive guide from expert model-maker Mat Irvine covers the full range of modern model-making techniques, from kit selection and scale compatibility through to painting, assembly, and diorama creation. It traces the evolution of the hobby from the introduction of polystyrene in the mid-20th century to today’s multi-material kits, and provides detailed instruction on working with plastics, resins, and white metal. Suitable for beginners seeking foundational skills and experienced builders looking to refine advanced methods.

  • Historical Context: The manual discusses the evolution of model-making, highlighting the introduction of polystyrene in the mid-20th century, which revolutionized the hobby and led to the widespread availability of plastic construction kits.
  • Comprehensive Guidance: It provides detailed information on modern model kit design and manufacturing, including scale compatibility, essential tools and techniques, paint application methods, and how to create dioramas for models.
  • Diverse Materials: The book addresses the growing trend of multi-material kits, offering insights into working with non-plastic materials like resins and white metal, which require different handling compared to polystyrene.
  • Expert Author: Written by Mat Irvine, a seasoned model-maker with professional experience in the BBC Visual Effects Department, the manual combines practical advice for beginners with advanced techniques for experienced hobbyists looking to enhance their skills.
