Details for marine models (PoD)

Weapon models for ship modelling

It is precisely the diversity and richness of detail of the armament that make the special appeal of ship models of the "Grey Fleet". Rebuilding these many fine pieces of equipment is a special challenge for the ship modeller.

In this book, the experienced ship modeller Günther Slansky devotes himself to the weapons equipment of warships, from submarines and torpedo boats to tanks and battleships. Light, medium, and heavy artillery are presented as well as torpedoes, sea mines and depth charges. How to represent these pieces of equipment in detail with normal workshop equipment and how to set them in motion, partly with simple means, is the subject of this book. The scales range from 1:14 to 1:150 and thus cover a wide spectrum of possible replica sizes. If you want to build a detailed model of an armed ship, this book is an indispensable aid.
