PLANK ON FRAME SHIP MODELS - The 'plank-on-frame' method
is the pre-eminent ship modelling technique, which nearly
all model shipwrights aspire to. 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.
Since publication in 1992 this volume has established itself
as the standard work of reference for model hull construction.
