Takashi Yamaguchi Ship Model Works Collection 1

Takashi Yamaguchi, known for his exceptional work as a ship modeller, presents a stunning collection of 1:350 scale ship models in a single volume! This book includes masterpieces from the past as well as new creations such as the USS "Wasp" (LHD-1), USS "Kidd" (DDG-100) and the previously unpublished cruise ship AIDA (modelled in 1:400 scale). Each model is intricately handcrafted and designed in dramatic marine diorama scenes with hundreds of figures on deck, giving the models life and realism that goes beyond traditional ship modelling. The vibrancy - and dynamic realism - of these works are a particular highlight.
The collection features large-format photographs that fully showcase the charm of each model and give the reader the feeling of seeing these incredible pieces up close.
