Description: The aim of this book is to show the average modeler how to build a high class model from a commercial kit.
It is well written in clear and concise language, and is to be highly recommended if you intend making any of the kits detailed below. Alternatively, if you are looking for a kit to make, and want to browse and get an idea or feel for the model, then again consider getting a copy.
The author starts the book off with three short chapters. The first is a sensible discussion on the basic tools required, the second provides advice on choosing a kit, while the third gives some hints on making a start. A final chapter is also included that provides a summary of useful techniques - many of which will prove invaluable, especially to the beginner.
The main body of the book consists of Chapters each dealing with a specific kit. They are well illustrated with numerous photos and line drawings, and cover the various stages of construction in full detail. Additionally, numerous hints and tips are provided, as well as advice in relation to the trickier operations.
All of this is practical in nature, as the author has built each kit - the photos illustrate the processes involved, as well specific details of the vessels. The author also provides numerous suggestions, as well as mentioning any specific pitfalls that builders may face.
Finally, because of the nature of the book, readers may want to know what manufacturer's kits are covered in the book. So, the ships covered are the Euro Model First Rate Royal William; Billing's Thames Barge Will Everard and their Faeroes Yawl FD10; Corel's Frigate Berlin; Panart's Square Sterned Whaleboat; Amati's New Bedford Whaleboat; and lastly all by Artesania Latina - the American Raider Hannah, the French Goelette La Toulonnaise, the Man-of-War San Juan Nepomuceno, the U.S.S. Constitution, and the Whaling Ship Charles W Morgan.
