The ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building
and modifying model kits of famous warships. Previously, these have
generally covered plastic and resin models of 20th century
subjects, but this volume is a radical departure - not only a
period sailing ship but one for which kits are available in many
different materials and scales. This requires some changes to the
standard approach, but the main features of the series remain
constant. Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar, is probably the
world's most famous sailing warship, and survives in restored form
at Portsmouth. With lavish illustration, this book takes the
modeller through a brief history of the ship, highlighting
differences in appearance over her long career. Detailed colour
profiles reveal decorative detail and changes to paint schemes over
250 years, and outline some of the debatable features experts still
disagree about. The modelling section reviews the strengths and
weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for
super-detailing, and provides hints on modifying and improving the
basic kit, including the complexities of rigging. This is followed
by an extensive photographic gallery of selected high-quality
models in a variety of scales, and coverage concludes with a
section on research references - books, monographs, large-scale
plans and relevant websites. Following the pattern of the series,
this book provides an unparalleled level of visual information -
paint schemes, models, line drawings and photographs - and is
simply the best reference for anyone setting out to model this
imposing three-decker.
