Model ship building does not have to be an expensive hobby. The author of this book takes you on a journey through one of the oldest crafts – nowadays a hobby – and shows you how you can build an end product of fascination, history, skill and value using low-cost materials and a minimum of tools – "from scratch" in fact. The book begins by explaining hull lines and hull construction methods and then moves on to: masts, yards, booms and gaffs; deck equipment and furniture; anchors; painting; rigging and blocks; armament; simple sail making; mounting and displaying the finished model.
