Inhaltsangabe:

This classic book contains a wealth of information on the making of old-time ship models, and would make a valuable addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the subject. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Reseña del editor: This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to building old-fashioned model ships and boats. Written in clear, simple language and full of helpful illustrations and detailed diagrams, this book is ideal for the novice model builder, and will be of considerable utility to those with a practical interest in building model ships. The chapters of this book include: “Some Famous Old Ships”, “Building Old-Time Ship Models”, “Making a Waterline Model of a Carrack”, “Making Scenic Models”, “Hulls and their Construction”, “Modelling the Royal Albert”, “Building the Stern Gallery”, “Making the Masts and Spars”, etcetera. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition - complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on model building.
