Taubmans is a model makers website. The folks there will have more experience than me...Ive only made half models. Im sure that is you surf the net a bit you will see all sorts of building techniques...wood, glass....and all sorts of people interested in tug design and detailing

Okay, okay, you don't need to yell! Turn off the upper-case, capital letters.

Now, to make a model, start with a large lump of clay and carve the shape you're after.

Have fun.
