5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful read 13 April 2012
By R. M. Derby - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Not a "put tab A into slot B" how to manual, this is the story of building a minature ship over several years by the author and his son. Goops and goos weren't available to shipyards in the eighteenth century and iron was in very limited supply. Treenails and fancy scarfs substittuted and the builders knew the wood's properties and used the grain and expansion properties to build a structure at home on the waves. Each frame is built up of individual futtocks and their varied characteristics between keel and rail are discussed.

The author describes placing finished models out on the roof for many months to acquire realistic weathering and includes a copy of the contract from the Royal Navy to the Colonial shipyard for the ship. (It took me a long time to decode "spirketting sided 4".) The process is the goal, not something that looks sort of nautical and is best viewed from twenty yards away.

A fine escape into the mind of a modest expert that a true model maker might dream of emulating.

3.0 out of 5 stars Put some effort into the visual... 22 Dec 2012
By J Book - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book has good material. Great stuff for really experienced scratch builders.. ok.. good... but how about those who aren't experienced in all things boat building??? Many more photos that go along with the old style text would be a real service. I've let a friend who is a great ship-scratch-builder look this book over... he agrees fully! So, come on..if you are going to do something like an instructional book... make it so it easily educates. Take this from a retired teacher. It will truly make a difference.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay 19 Dec 2012
By CHRISTOPHER S GOPAULSINGH - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Reasonably good, but the "language" is a bit archaic and the text does not always coincide with the closest diagram.
