Synopsis
A comprehensive guide to the building and sailing of working scale model merchant ships, this new paperback edition covers the spectrum of ship types--from tankers to trawlers to paddle-steamers. Every stage of construction is covered in full detail, beginning with the building of the hull and concluding with propulsion, ballasting, and sailing the completed model. All building methods and materials are described, including plank on frame construction, GRP molding of hulls, and casting of deck fittings. Chapters are devoted to the installation of electric motors and steam engines, and the fitting and operation of radio control equipment. This book is indispensable reading for ship modelers of all skill levels.

About the Author
Tom Gorman has been a professional ship modeller since his retirement from the marine engineering industry in 1983, and has had a lifelong interest in merchant ships and the sea. Beginning by producing model kits, he now concentrates on building models commissioned by specific customers such as shipowners. He contributes frequently to the modelling press both in the UK and the USA, and articles by him have appeared in the journals Model Shipwright and Model Boats. He is an active member of his local model boat club and gives talks on aspects of ship modelling and also on techniques of model ship photography.
