Building Scale Model Electric-Powered Boats

Building  scale model boats that can sail under their own power is a challenging  and rewarding hobby requiring varied skills from woodworking to painting  to wiring electrical components. This book details everything you need  to know to get started: from the tools, materials and equipment required  to motors, servos, propellers and remote controls. There are  step-by-step guides to the more challenging procedures. There are  details on the different types of kits available and how to choose one.  Advice is given on glues, fillers, making silicon moulds, and finishes  such as painting, decals and weathering. Finally, there is the building  of an off-the-shelf kit for the steam yacht Komet and scratch-built RNLI  Lifeboat The Torbay Severn class lifeboat.
