THE BUILT-UP SHIP MODEL
DP26174-3 $10.99
|
This highly detailed,
superbly illustrated manual introduces serious model builders to the
hand crafting of ship models from the bottom up, exactly as real
ships were traditionally built in shipyards. Clearly, and with
painstaking care, every step of construction is explained, from
laying the keel to the last details of masting and rigging. |

For this book, the
author chose as a model the 16 gun United States Brig Lexington,
a merchant vessel converted to military use in 1775, and a
veteran of two years of active service in the revolution. To ensure
complete accuracy and to alert readers to possible problems and
pitfalls along the way, the author, a naval architect and master
model builder, constructed the model as he wrote the book. |

Photographs illustrate
the day-to-day work in progress, so that ship model builders can
check their work against Davis' own replica. In addition, over 100
drawings show in detail correct implementation of the more complex
instructions. In his introduction, Charles Davis chronicles the
exciting career of the Lexington, and the role it played in
America's fight for freedom. |

A classic in its field,
The Built-Up Ship Model is not a book for beginners; rather,
it is an expert guide aimed at model builders with experience,
patience, and a passion for building "the real thing." The reward:
an heirloom-quality ship model as beautiful as it is authentic in
every detail. |
