Ship Models : Patterns and Instructions for a Clipper Ship and a Whaler
by George B. Douglas, Joseph T. Higgins
Book Description:
Clearly written text, detailed illustrations, and full-size working
plans provide novices and experienced model builders with all the information
they need to create exact replicas of two 19th-century sailing ships—the
Benjamin F. Packard, a classic American clipper, and the Alice Mandell,
a famous whaler. The one-volume edition of two rare model-building manuals
also devotes chapters to ship’s rigging (ancient and modern)
and abundant information on clippers and old-time whaling ships. A treasury
of essential information for hobbyists, model builders, and devotees of
the great age of sail.

Finishing
Scale Ship Models: Detailing And Painting Techniques
by Tom Gorman
As every modeler knows, one of the most difficult aspects of ship modeling
is the painting and fine detailing. According to the author of this book,
Tom Gorman, who is one of the most highly respected modelers in the profession,
it’s what separates the good from the "also ran." For those struggling
to put the final touches on their scale ship models, this new manual will
come as a godsend.
Profusely illustrated in both color and black and white, the book first
takes on the painting of models, outlining techniques for both wood and
plastic and then addressing the different approaches needed for hulls and
superstructures, decks and fittings. He describes all the equipment needed
and tells how to prepare the surfaces and apply the sealing and priming
coats, and explains brushwork, spraying, air-brushing, and varnishing.
The second part of the book deals with the fittings and explains how to
make lifeboats, rafts, and carley floats, and tells how to make all the
deck machinery and hull fittings, funnels and masts, as well as anchors
and bollards, among other things. Whether you are a modeler aspiring to
competition status or at the early stage of your career, the wealth of
practical information provided in this manual will help transform your
model to the highest standards and should find a place on every modeler’s
workbench.

Workshop
Practice for Ship Modelers: A Complete Practical Guide for the Occasional
Engineer
by Brian King
Book Description:
Broad in scope yet meticulous in coverage, this manual on workshops
and workshop practices fills a long-neglected area for modelers seeking
to improve their building skills. The author draws on many years spent
developing and honing his techniques, knowledge that he passes on to the
reader in this four-part book. He first discusses the design of the workshop
and the types of tools and storage needed. The second section deals with
materials, including an analysis of the properties and usage of metals,
woods, plastics, and adhesives. Section three looks at machining methods,
from lathe work to milling and photo etching. The fourth section, on model
finishing, provides details on painting and the types of equipment required.
This practical guide can be used both as an encyclopedia of tools and materials
and an authoritative reference to help the reader decide what method to
use to complete a specific task.
