It is often annoying that every kit model built from the same kit of the same company is like one egg from the other. This is what creative ship modelling aims to change! Using prefabricated hulls, it is mainly a matter ofthe superstructure, which must be redesigned, sawn out and further processed and further processed, without the need for a construction template. The conversion of kit models shows how to convert ready-built models to a completely new model by converting them to jet propulsion. Finally, the author presents four examples how larger display models can be converted into real driving models to properly running RC ship models by installing a remote-control system. From the content: • Construction of models according to own designs • Building description of two creative models • Building a police boat according to own ideas • Two creative construction models - The MULTIBOAT • A speedboat and a mega luxury yacht • Conversion of kit models - The FLORIDA as a jet model • The RAPIDO 600 as a jet model • A customs cruiser and a fishery protection boat • Conversion of display models to RC models • Cruise ship QUEEN MARY 2 • Sea rescue cruiser HERMANN MARWEDE • German submarine class VII C • American submarine GATO class • REVELL RC ship model already at the end of the 50s

Gerhard O. W. Fischer will show you how to get to your desired model of your choice. On the basis of modular models, he teaches you working methods which are always repeated for other models. In this way, what you have learned can also be transferred to other models. The author has selected 18 kit models, which have been in the program of the modeling companies for a long time and will continue to be available. will continue to be available. The selection of ship types is broad. Besides an old harbor tug and a modern sea tug, there are also working ships, a cruise ship, small and large motor yachts, high-speed speed racing boats with jet propulsion, and a submarine. From the content: General building instructions, starting with the boat stand to the hull and the RC system Construction kit models: Harbour tug Kalle - Tug Torben - Harbour master boat Kormoran Racing catamaran Powerkat - Sea Jet Evolution Motor yacht Lisa M. - Motor yacht Najade Racing boat Miami - Jet racing boat Seewind - Fishery protection boat Seefalke Nearly finished models: River patrol boat Buzzard - Sport boat Lugano racing boat Wave Explorer - motor yacht San Diego ... as well as some other bigger models for inspiration

Building your own box hull models is often ridiculed as too easy. Conversely, beginners in ship model building easily overestimate certain construction tasks. Yet, for example, an attractive push boat can be built with simple means. Günther Slansky, who has been building model ships for over 60 years, describes in this book how to achieve three coordinated models that can be used together or separately without requiring a great deal of tools or materials. Step by step, on the basis of construction plans, a river push boat of the Elbe navigation, a construction pontoon of the waterway construction and a functional crane ship are created. The author not only shows in detail how to build a stable wooden hull, but also addresses the many details that go into ships and their interiors. He deals in detail with questions about the ship's electrical system. The basic structure of electrical circuits is described as well as the function of important electronic and electromechanical components. The text is supplemented by 30 sketches and about 170 color photos.

In terms of quality, historical significance and sheer numbers, the Kriegstein family’s ship model collection in the United States is the finest in private hands anywhere in the world. Principally made up of official 17th- and 18th-century models in the Admiralty or Navy Board style, the collection is unrivalled by any museum outside the British national collection at Greenwich. As the models are not on public display, this book fills the need for a detailed catalogue and visual reference with superb colour photos of all the models, both overall portraits and multiple close-ups. Apart from lengthy descriptions of these magnificent artefacts, space is devoted to how they were identified, and the valuable research done by Arnold and Henry Kriegstein, the identical twins whose shared passion brought this all together. Beyond the technicalities of the ships, the story has a human dimension in the brothers’ adventures in pursuit of every model and their dogged determination to secure them against official obstruction and dubious antiques-trade practices. This is an entirely new and revised edition of Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Ship Models first published in 2007, now expanded to include the additions to the collection since that date.

What can creative methods offer our understanding of military power and militarised cultures? What constitutes ‘creative research’ in military studies? And, what are some of the challenges of this type of work? This edited volume brings together authors working at the cutting edge of creative research in military studies, to explore how creativity and creative practice can shed new light on often taken for granted concepts in critical military research. In twelve empirically and conceptually rich chapters, authors from a diverse range of disciplinary fields draw on theatre, model-making, songwriting, dance, spoken word, paper making, and more, to question what military research can and should look like. As a collection, the book explores topics of central concern in military studies such as militarism, military experience, and militarised cultures, as well as more practical questions around ethics, positionality, and research relationships. This path-breaking new volume considers what exactly constitutes creativity in critical military research, while offering the tools for researchers to think anew about big questions in the field.
