A Ship Modelmaker's Manual
Modellers looking for guidance in basic construction techniques usually have
no trouble finding what they need to know in print, but detailed material on
such aspects as hull forms, shipboard structures and ships' fittings are another
matter.
A Ship Modelmaker's Manual fills gap. Alphabetically presented in this
fully illustrated catalog, in-depth information covers anchors, bollards and
fairleads, davits, derricks, funnels, hatches, lifeboats, masts, propellers and
winches. Extended entries highlight common modelmaking problrms
including methods of propulsion, plans for ship models, hull construction and
choice of timber.
Terminology and sources of information are included, and an extensive
bibliography and index complete the book. Packed with answers to so many
perplexing questions and difficulties, this major contribution to a hitherto
neglected area of shipmodelling will prove indispensable to all enthusiasts.
