Handcrafted Model Ship

"Ships in Scale magazine called our best-selling manual for the first-time kit-builder, "Ship Modeling Simplified, a "Bible for the novice modeler." "Model Ship Builder said "the only problem with this book is that it should have come out years ago." Now comes the next logical step, a book on building ship models without kits, form Edwin Leaf, past president and resident guru of the prestigious Philadephia Ship Model Society. Following the proven format of "Ship Modeling Simplified, here is the first complete, step-by-step course in building model ships from scratch--everything from schooners and clipper ships to modern ocean-going freighters and steel warships. This book covers in detail everything the first-time scratch-builder needs to know: choosing the right subject, building from plans, drawing scaled plans from photographs, and buying tools and materials. It also covers building half models, planked hulls, lapstrake hulls, plank-on-frame, plank-on-bulkhead, lift models, modern ships, ancient ships, masting and rigging, sails and flags. Sources and an illustrated glossary are included.

A particular suitability for beginners distinguishes this classic guide to ship modeling from the many other available manuals. Both text and plans are especially geared toward the growing skills of novices, with projects presented in easy-to-learn techniques arranged in order of difficulty, from relatively simple models to complicated square-riggers. The plans are drawn from those of the original builders or from measurements of existing craft, showing all the necessary details for creating highly accurate scale models. Starting with the construction of a half-hull ship model, the book advances to the building of a whole-hull model and replicas of 12 different American sailing vessels, including a whaling schooner, Chesapeake Bay bugeye, sloop of war, privateer, and International "M" class yacht. Also included are chapters on rigging, gear and furniture, and tools and materials. The return of this long out-of-print guide, written by an expert on the subject, is certain to be applauded by armchair sailors and model-ship enthusiasts. Unabridged republication of the edition published by W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., New York, 1942. Appendixes. Glossary. Index.
