Considers the history of ports and inland waterways, and the
important role played by the railways in facilitating their
operation. Provides layout plans and ideas, all based on
prototypes, that are aimed specifically at the scratch builder.
Presents a selection of modelling projects, including dioramas of
both a canal wharf and two different estuary ports, supported by
step-by-step photograhs, drawings and track plans. Pays attention
to modelling some of the smaller vessels that might be included
in a model as well as to the wharf and quayside buildings and
equipment. Discusses the modelling and painting techniques that
can be used to create realistic-looking water. Demonstrates how
models can be made more convincing and brought to life by the
addition of appropriate colour and weathering, and by the use of
scale models of workers, and even birds and animals.
