HMS Warrior was launched in 1860 at a critical moment in the history of ship development -- a time when iron was taking over from wood, the turret gun from the broadside, and steam from sail. The most significant vessel of her generation, the Warrior offers a fleeting situation of the old and new side by side. In building a working model of this warship, the shipwright embraces nearly every aspect of ship modeling. The working model of HMS Warrior presented here, built on the traditional shipbuilder's scale of 1:48 and incorporates a myriad of characteristics for the modeler -- an iron hull, laid decks, both steam and sail propulsion, a retractable propeller, lowering funnels, a mass of both conventional and breech-loading ordnance, a traditional figurehead and gilded galleries, and a whole array of ship's boats. William Mowll explains in detail all the techniques needed for miniature replication. These include GRP molding and metal working, both ferrous and non-ferrous, in brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, bronze, pewter, and lead-tin mixes for casting. He describes the uses of both plain and exotic timbers, the utilization of silicone rubber and adhesives, rope and sail making, and the application of paints and finishes. For all modelmakers wishing to build any warship, static or working, this beautifully illustrated guide is an essential reference.
