Modelling Sailing Men-of-War - An Illustrated Step-by-Step Guide
Year: 2000 Language: English Author: Reed P. Genre: Manual Publisher: Naval Institute Press ISBN: 1-55750-444-X Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 140 Description: This unmatched volume on the art of static ship modeling is a step-by step guide to building the eighteenth century 74-gun ship-of-the-line Majestic. What makes the book truly unique is the use of over four hundred photographs that depict each stage of construction. During a fifteen-month building period, the author shot every aspect of the task and distilled those photographs into a sequence that takes the reader from the initial drawing of the plan to the final rigging and display. The carving of the hull and gunports, the fitting of the planking and wales, the building of stanchions and rails, the addition of the channels and the fitting of the chains and deadeyes, the carving of guns, capstans, cannon balls, bulkheads and masts and spars--these are a few of the phases depicted in pin-sharp photographs that can be easily followed by novice an expert alike. Though one scale and a single ship are used throughout, the techniques demonstrated can be applied to other vessels and at other scales. This book takes readers into the workshop of a professional and allows them to see first hand how the experts do it.
