The experiences of several famous modelmakers has been set down for the benefit for those aspiring to higher standards. Each contributes a chapter about his chosen field, but concentrates on three types - the galleon, clipper, and the fore-and-aft rigged coaster - as representative of the problems and pitfalls of modelling any sailing ship, whether plank-on-frame, miniature or working. Over 100 plans and diagrams and 150 photos illustrate chapters on hull construction, deck fittings, masting and rigging, scenic miniatures, working models, painting and finishing, and flags.
