Models of sailing ships have always held a special fascination for model makers because they capture all the romance of the sea, shipboard life, and a fighting spirit. However, many would-be modellers are discouraged by the inherent complexity of the subject. Plastic kit manufacturers were quick to capitalise on this interest and produced kits that were advertised as easy and reasonably quick to assemble. Despite their ease of assembly, plastic models of sailing ships, like the ships themselves, remain complicated to build. Manufacturers devised simplifications of the difficult aspects. However, modellers have long complained that these simplifications have resulted in often crudely detailed and unrealistic finished models. This book demonstrates techniques unique to plastic sailing ship models that overcome these limitations.
