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!
