Styrene Modeling
Compiled by Bob Hayden This book has got important
information required by every builder of model ships because
styrene board is such an essential component. Whereas
"Scale Model Warships" covers Styrene Board to an extent
"Styrene Modeling" covers it thoroughly. There's a
wealth of information here on cutting and handling styrene board,
and which of the numerous adhesives available would you use?
There's a different adhesive for different situations. What paint
to use, how to apply it, airbrushing techniques, how to mix paints
for different effects. Weathering - that's a special skill in
itself - it's explained in detail. Working with decals etc etc
it's all here.
Chapter headings include:-
Equipping the Styrene Workshop,
Working with Styrene Sheet & Strip, Scratchbuilding basic
boxes (shapes),Working with Styrene Kits, Kitbashing and
Conversions, Detailing Techniques, Basic Painting & Finishing,
Advanced Finishing Techniques, Scratchbuilding Projects

Model Boats With Styrene
You may need this book by Richard Webb in conjunction with
Styrene Modeling as the former has good chapters on finishing and
especially weathering. This one does not cover those areas but is
devoted to model boats and has very relevant information on making
fittings, superstructures, electrical boxes and other relevant
items not covered by Styrene Modeling. All in all you need both
books to cover the subject of working with styrene board
thoroughly.
Chapter
headings include:-
Tools for working styrene, Marking out in styrene,
Cutting styrene, Bending styrene, Gluing styrene, Painting
styrene, Making fittings with styrene, Building models with GRP
hulls, Model boat construction kits, Servo supports and electrical
boxes, Radio control in model boats, etc,

The Complete Marine Radio Control Manual by
Hugh Bright
That's exactly what it is - complete - everything you need
to know about putting r/c into model boats is here. And what a lot
you do need to know. As someone coming from a r/c model aircraft
background I thought I knew it all. No way, electrics and water
don't mix and if they do your model could go up in flames in the
middle of the pond. It could also go up in flames if you haven't
fused the system correctly - or at all, because of the much
heavier currents involved with the lead/acid batteries. Fitting
sirens, water pumps, dealing with electrical interference - it's
all here and more, very essential stuff. This is a book that
should be on every model boat builders bookshelf, whether
experienced or not.
Chapter Headings include:-
Transmitters & Receivers,
Servos, TX & RX Power Supplies, Interference & Earthing,
Electric Motors, Main Power Supplies & Fusing, Controlling the
Power, Chargers & Battery Management, Tools & Soldering,
Auxiliary Functions & Electronic Kits, Extendings Functions
inc TX Mods, Relays, Switches, & Sound Units, Installing RC
Equipment etc, etc.
