"Highly detailed [with] excellent line illustrations, graphs, and photographs. There is maritime history on every page. Highly recommended."--Library Journal
More than 2,500 photographs, detailed diagrams, intricate drawings, and easy-to-follow plans fill every page of this invaluable sourcebook for making model ships. It's simply breathtaking, rich in historical facts about real ships that sailed the seas from 3000 B.C. to the 19th century, and generously informative. Charts and checklists abound, and the essential advice covers every conceivable point, from deciding on a project to choosing the best plans, from making the most of a limited budget to selecting the handiest materials. Every model maker will find eye-opening ideas.

Original Language: German
Evoking the age of wooden ships and iron men, Mondfeld has produced a highly detailed vade mecum for the period ship modeler. Using excellent line illustrations, graphs, and photographs, he charts a course through the intricate art of period ship modeling for ships of the age of sail. Additionally, there is maritime history on virtually every page. Since this work is an English translation of Historische Schiffsmodelle , the syntax is a bit stiff and the narrative runs into the gutter of the book, making for some difficulty in reading. Still, with this book the ship modeler will have fair winds to assist in this craft. Highly recommended.
