Now available in paperback, Philip Reed's latest building guide
tackles what many regard as the ultimate expression of the ship
model maker's art, the Navy Board model. His step-by-step
construction of a miniature 1/192 scale model of HMS Royal George
of 1715 demonstrates all the conventions of Navy Board framing and
planking. With the aid of nearly four hundred photographs, he takes
the reader through every building stage. He covers methods of hull
and deck framing, internal and external planking, and the
construction of the complex stern. Reed also shows how to render
the multitude of decorative carvings on the figurehead, stern, and
broadside. A section showing, amongst others, his model of Siren,
explains how the techniques used to frame Royal George can be
adapted for ships of a later date, using single and double frames
closer to full-size practice. This is the first book in many years
to cover the well-known and sought-after early eighteenth-century
Navy Board models. Here is an invaluable manual from which any
model maker can benefit from the lifetime's experience of one of
the world's leading exponents of the art of miniature shipbuilding.
