Ship Modeling from Scratch : Tips and Techniques for Building Without Kits

by Edwin B. Leaf

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, and painting and displaying your model.

A lot of this went over my head but it had good information about how to interpret ships’ plans. A useful addition to Mastini’s book on ship modeling. I’m going to have to go back and read this again at some point.
