Model ship building does not have to be an expensive hobby. The
author takes you by the hand on a journey through one of the oldest
crafts - nowadays a hobby - and shows how you can build an end
product of fascination, history, skill and value using low-cost
materials and a minimum of tools - from 'scratch' in fact. The book
starts by explaining hull lines and hull construction methods, then
moves on to masts, yards, booms and gaffs, deck equipment and
furniture, anchors, rigging and blocks, armament and simple sail
making. Finally instruction is given to painting, mounting and
displaying the models. The author's text is packed with useful
hints and tips derived from his lifetime of modelling which,
together with the large number of detailed drawings and photographs
depicting many of the ship models in his collection, some showing
useful close-ups on details and fittings, provides a very practical
guide to the art and craft of model ship building.
