Surface shaping, filling, primering and waterproofing are all covered in this publication after which there will be chapters dedicated on how best to transfer whatever paint/finish the hobbyist has chosen for his/her modelcraft. Yet along with discussing the basics of painting most any type of model vessel, this book will also spell out some of the ways to protect your handiwork once its been affixed to the watercrafts exterior. Clear coats, graphics applications and repairs will all be talked about at length; plus, each of these subjects will be broken down into their static or R/C boat usages as well.
Painting Model Boats is intended to help anyone, both novice and expert alike, to decorate his/her model vessel to whatever level of finish they might desire in their boats. Because, in the final analysis, the overall appearance of any small-scale marinecraft will largely be judged by its outer paintwork!
