Product Description

Synopsis

The model is the strongest tool a designer can use to present three dimensional ideas to a client. This step-by-step book discusses more than 100 new and old materials, including resins, foams, plastics, solvents and adhesives, as well as state-of-the-art techniques, professional tips and tricks. It shows how to create any type of model in the most effective and professional way, making special emphasis on safety, health and ecology. The book includes dozens of examples of models at different stages of completion, from a transparent perfume bottle and a space-age toilet to an automobile, a railway car and an airport terminal, accompanied by detailed instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for any modelmaker. 22 Oct 1997
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I am a professional modelmaker. Initially I was glad to find anything written about the craft as a profession. After reading through it more than a couple of times, I beleive it to be a well written book. It is very informative, with its "hands on" way of explaining a topic. It is also filled with great photos. I highly reccommend this book to students or anyone interested in the design or engineering fields.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 'Handbook' for design modeling... 24 Mar 2004
By An Industrial Designer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This text does prove and excellent `handbook' covering a wide variety of modeling techniques. While Trudeau does not tend to go into great detail, its treatment of each subject is practical and clearly presented. Though the examples may not provide new insight "for Architects" using traditional modeling materials (i.e. chipboard or foam core) it is certainly a valuable resource for product designers or other design professionals working in more involved mediums where such supporting texts are few and far between.

Overall an good resource, especially for students interested in accelerating their model making experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilariously dated, but very informative. 6 Sep 2012
By Guido Kimble - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The pictures in this book just make you imagine the set of a '90s Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. It's fun. But the author makes a lot of good points, and illustrates his information well. There really aren't a lot of books on this subject, and this one is good to pick up.
