But once you've mastered the basics, where do you go? If you're looking for a challenge, you move on to scratchbuilding. And that can be imposing: With a kit, you worked with someone else's plans, materials, and building instructions. Scratchbuilding makes you master of your own fate. You do the research, choose the subject, the scale, the material. The choices are limited only by your enthusiasm. Edwin B. Leaf scratchbuilt his first model--a Baltimore clipper--nearly fifty years ago, and he's been refining and building on his skills ever since. In Ship Modeling from Scratch he lays out the principles--from concept to construction to display--on which scratchbuilding is based. In clear, concise language complemented by detailed illustrations he tells how to interpret existing drawings or create your own, what materials to choose, what tools to buy, and what techniques to use to build everything from plank-on-frame, plank-on-bulkhead, or modern steel hulls to creating sharp and properly scaled details--paint to portholes. Building a model from scratch is a singular pursuit that requires patience, confidence, and ingenuity. With Ship Modeling from Scratch open on your workbench, you have your own private tutor guiding you through the troublespots. Ship Modeling from Scratch expands the horizon of any kit builder looking for a challenge, including choosing the right subject finding and interpreting historical material building from plans drawing scaled plans from photographs buying tools and materials building everything from half models to plank-on-frame or plank-on-bulkhead versions of traditional sailing craft to modern steel cargo ships painting and displaying your model

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'plank-on-frame' method is the pre-eminent ship modelling technique, which nearly all model shipwrights aspire to: this practical manual is the foremost guide to its intricacies. Taking as his example the two-masted sloop Cruiser of 1752, the author leads the reader through every stage of building a model of the vessel, from preliminary research and taking off lines to the actual construction of the hull and fittings, and its masting and rigging. Each clear, step-by-step stage is described in the text and illustrated with explanatory line drawings and photographs. Though a single ship is employed as an example, the techniques can equally well be applied to any wooden sailing ship. Since original publication in 1994 this volume has established itself as the standard work of reference for model hull construction and is indispensable for modelmakers who pride themselves on an accurate, elegant scratch-built technique.

Book excerpt: If you are a model ship builder, you've probably had trouble with the planking of the hull of your models. A number of books have been written on the subject or about model shipbuilding in general, but no book compares to the detailed, step-by-step instructions shown in Bob Hunt's mini-practicum, Planking Model Ships. Bob takes the model builder through the application of two layers of planking typically found in model ship kits today. He shows you techniques he has developed after building these wonderful models for over 25 years. Special attention is given to the second layer of planking because this is the layer that is visible on the completed model. Bob shows how to break the hull down into smaller parts so that a complete analysis can be done. It is this analysis that reveals where special attention is needed, especially at the bow and stern. Bob shows how to recognize when joggle planks at the bow and stealers at the stern are needed. He goes into great detail with many color photos to show how to make these special planks and install them. Learn the techniques from this book and you will no doubt have no problems planking most any model ship you wish to build. Bob even provides customer support through an online forum for all customers who have purchased the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast majority of period ship models are built from kits, usually primarily of wood with some ready-made fittings. Although these commercial offerings have improved significantly in recent years, all of them can be enhanced in accuracy or detail by an experienced modelmaker. This book, by an expert ship modeller, distils lessons gleaned from a lifetime practising the hobby to the highest standards, setting out methods of improving basic kits and gradually developing the skills and confidence to tackle the construction of a model from scratch. Using a variety of kits as the starting point, each chapter demonstrates a technique that can be readily improved or a feature that can be replaced to the advantage of the finished model. Topics include hull planking, representing copper sheathing, many aspects of more accurate masting and rigging, and how to replace kit parts and fittings from scratch. Ultimately, the impact of a period model depends on its accuracy, and the book also provides guidance on plans and references, where to find them and how they are best used. The plank-on-frame model, sometimes with exposed frames in the Navy Board style, has always been considered the crowning achievement of period ship modeling, and this book concludes with coverage of the very latest kits that put fully framed models within the reach of ordinary mortals. Offering advice, expertise and inspiration, Ship Models from the Age of Sail has something for anyone interested in building a period ship model, whatever their level of skill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Volk has already built several museum models and here he shares his wealth of experience with all ship model builders. Using the example of a pilot schooner in 1:50 scale, the construction, divided into individual sections, is described in detail: From the hull to the rigging, from the steering wheel to the fresh water barrel, nothing is missing that makes a perfect ship model. The reader is introduced to a wealth of different working techniques, receives useful practical tips and even finds a German-English dictionary of technical terms. Together with the many extraordinarily detailed drawings by Peter Davies-Garner, a compendium has been created which is also valid for other similar ships and which one therefore likes to consult again and again. A self-built model in museum quality? – With this book it becomes possible!

King uses the concept of activity sets - relatively stable combinations of activities that characterize every large-scale human enterprise - to explain how modeling can help people make sense of the world around them.
