A timeless bible of building a display model of HMS Victory!
HMS Victory (104 guns), now preserved in dry-dock at Portsmouth in England embodies the might of the man-of-war at the zenith of the age of sail. The vessel was Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship at the battle of Trafalgar. Mr C Nepean Longridge's masterpiece of a book describes the process by which his model of this famous vessel was built. The book is unique; Longridge follows full-scale practice virtually to the smallest detail. This makes his work essential to the accomplished ship-modeller and the novice alike. For the former, there are the detailed references to complete the ultimate ship model project - clearly explained and amply illustrated. As for the latter, here is a book that will inspire and which will be a fountain of suggestions for improving building techniques applicable to all vessels of the era. For example, there are more than 183 figure drawings from variations of 'scarph' joints to methods of belaying lines. Additionally there are 12 plans and 76 photographs. This is the bible, with illustrations, for building all classes of naval ship give or take a gun-port or two.
