Following a Master Model Maker - HMS Lion
By George Elder and Bruce Gordon
This article was originally a series of web posts by George Elder describing the ongoing creation of the H.M.S. Lion master by Dave Moseley.  The posts were later assembled and edited by Bruce Gordon.
Morning Sunshine Models has embarked on a partnership with Dave Moseley's Cruise Line Models, and this article examines the first fruits of that labor:  The planned battleship HMS Lion. This is a rare opportunity to systematically examine how 1/1250 scale master models are made and subsequently reproduced via the mold-making process
