Synopsis
From the simple to the sophisticated, this third volume of the successful Period Ship Handbook series looks at the making of ten model sailing ship projects. For modelers who are just beginning the transition from kits to scratch building or the highly skilled craftsman, the chapters provide detailed instructions on the various phases of exhibition-standard construction. Projects range in size from the HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat to the Bounty itself. Other ships in this volume include the great seventeenth-century Spanish warship San Felipe and the early twentieth-century American whaling ship Viola, as well as the Bellona, Unicorn, Portsmouth, See Ewer Elbe, Baltimore, and a section on the Victory. For those unsure of the sometimes daunting details of the craft, the author provides information on rigging terminology, modeling techniques, and step-by-step instructions in a fully illustrated large-format layout designed to bridge any knowledge gaps and encourage participation in this fascinating hobby.
