Much of the info here is applicable to different ships, but is unquestionably a builder's guide for the Sea Witch. There's even a fold-out plan sheet in the back It seems like the book is meant to help a beginner understand how ship models are built, but it spares the detailed construction guidelines that a beginner would need, seemingly assuming that anyone reading it would already know certain things. Anyway, it's not a bad book, but calling it "Ship Models: How to build them" is like calling one recipe a cookbook.

I can suggest a few other books that I found SUPER helpful in learning about shipmodeling so far, with complete sections, and with subject matter that will apply to many different types of ship model, whether in wood or plastic rigging, for example One of my favorites How to build plastic ship models, by Les Wilkins has some good though somewhat dated and brief information The Neophyte shipmodelers Jackstay By George Campbell is packed with good info despite being a smaller book Rigging Period Ship Models, by Lennarth Petersson in invaluable for understanding rigging a must have Anyway, if you're looking for books on building ship models, always be sure to read as many reviews as you can before buying Whether you build model ships or not, these Dover reprints of vintage classics are a must have for anyone who is interested in ship construction and maritime history.

Davis not only describes the construction and layout of model and prototype ships and boats, and illustrates them well, but he brings a vast first hand knowledge naval architecture and sailing know how to this manuscript. From carved hulls to built up construction even pasteboard mock ups , Mr.

Davis walks you through every aspect of model construction. In this volume, he describes several specific historic ships, and provides key data and mold lines necessary to produce a quality facsimile. Included are several sets of plans that can be removed from the book for reference. A fine volume to have on hand at a modest price.

And be sure to check out the late Mr. Davis' other Dover titles related to model ship building, he even describes how to build or modify your own tools for fine craftsman work.

• The Ship Model Builder's Assistant (Dover Woodworking).

Provides a nice overview but if you are looking for specifics there are better books out there. It does not have anything really devoted to planking a model, in fact only a couple of pages even talk about it. Good for overall definitions, but lacking in pictures or diagrams explaining what is being discusses. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Well written and easy to follow. Lots of explanations and tips to keep projects progressing. A valuable addition to a model shipbuilders library. This book is very old Still, the material is relevant, and the material in this book is very good.
