Just Like The Real Thing

Just Like The Real Thing



Written by Pete Waterman.
 
Following the great success of A Train is For Life, Pete Waterman’s new book gives tips on how to model railways to the very highest standard - a subject very close to his heart.

Over the years Pete has brought together some of the finest railway modellers in the business and his models and layouts are renowned for their high quality, accuracy and attention to detail. This attractively illustrated book will impart practical advice, tips and techniques that he has developed over the years over a wide range of modelling topics, from locomotives and rolling stock to track, signalling, scenery and buildings, from painting to model construction. Many of the techniques are unusual but easy for the average modeller to reproduce and give results far better than perhaps more conventional methods, including the now renowned singing of teddy bear fur to create grassed embankments and cuttings.To supplement the practical tips the book will be illustrated with some stunning and inspirational examples of Pete Waterman’s layout and models showing what the reader can hope to achieve with time, practice and good advice.

This book will appeal to all those who are familiar with Pete Waterman’s railway models and all who aspire to improve the quality of their own modelling, whether aspirational beginners or more experienced and advanced modellers.
