Design model criteria -- Three-dimensional form development -- Choice of materials and techniques -- Physical and chemical properites of materials -- Foam care -- Foams -- Thermoplastics and themosets -- Styling clay -- Solvent bonding -- Glues and cements -- Casting and molding -- Thermoforming -- Making sweeps -- Machines and hand tools -- Sanding and finishing -- Surface treatment and painting.
"The model is the most effective tool a designer has to clearly present three-dimensional ideas to a client. If it is well made, it can look as real as the final product." "Professional Modelmaking is the only up-to-date reference on modelmaking today, with more than 100 new and old materials discussed - including resins, foams, plastics, wood, clay, solvents and adhesives - as well as state-of-the-art techniques, professional tips and tricks of the trade. The book provides step-by-step instruction, showing models and procedures at different stages of completion to facilitate a thorough understanding of the materials and processes being discussed. Also emphasized are safety and ecologically-sound practices, both important areas long neglected in the field. Brimming with full-color illustrations and instructional diagrams throughout, the book is accessible to amateurs and professionals alike. Professional Modelmaking is an invaluable resource for students, designers, modelmakers, architects, restorers and engineers."--BOOK JACKET.
