Product Description |
| Phillip Reed's latest building guide tackles what many regard as the ultimate expression of the ship model maker s art, the Navy Board model. His step-by-step construction of a miniature 1/192 scale model of the Royal George of 1715 demonstrates all the conventions of Navy Board framing and planking. With the aid of nearly 400 photographs, he takes the reader through every building stage. Methods of hull and deck framing, internal and external planking, and the construction of the complex stern are all covered. Reed also shows how to render the multitude of decorative carvings on the figurehead, stern, and broadside. This is the first book in many years to cover the well-known and sought-after early eighteenth-century Navy Board models. |

 Makes it look easy (Somewhat) |
| Review Date: August 15, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Robert Lester, Australia |
| This author holds two skills, obviously a magnificent modeller, but he also has the ability to make a navy Board Model achievable. Step by step (great) photos of the building of a navy board model, make his craft look easy, until you realise the tiny scale of the ship the absolute artistry of his engravings and sculpture shows just how good he is. His manner is by no means arrogant, but properly instructional and he does not miss steps. Not that I am anywhere near producing such a model nor investing in such a large amount of tools (yet) this reference will always be in my collection as the first point of call should I finally undertake such an endeavour. Worth buying? Yes. Worth the money too. |
Admiralty, Model Ship Building

| Review Date: October 4, 2009 |
| Reviewer: longboat, USA |
| Beautiful book, having loads photos. For the advanced builder, having a moderate shop and "lots of time" to devote to fine model ship construction. The model ship built is the British Royal George, but onlike most Admiralty at 1:48 scale, this is "tiny" at 1:192 (which equals about 7 inches). This build is followed by a detailed decription of how to make a "Great Looking" display case for the model. English writer, using English construction materials, which may not always be available by that name, in the US. |
