Often it is the most trivial things, even for a tinkering professional, that cause even the most beautiful shipbuilding project to fail. What could be more obvious than to be able to recognize to be able to recognize, avoid and eliminate them right from the start. Tips and tricks from decades of experience in model building are provided here by Siegfried Frohn. You will not find these tricks in any building manual! All basic concepts are explained and conveyed in a clear manner. Not least by the numerous illustrations and photos even beginners can easily understand the interesting subject of ship model building. From the content: • Basic knowledge of ship model building • Construction description, construction plan and parts lists • Remote control and receiver system on/off switch, charging socket, antenna • Servos and steering gear • Causes for reception disturbances • Speed controller and motors • Installation of the motor • Direction of rotation of the motor • Motor interference suppression for model ship builders • The range of the remote-control system • The basic concepts of battery technology • Charging, charging time, maintenance and care • The right charger • Series and parallel connection of batteries • Rudder systems, single and multiple rudder operation, bow thrusters • Material, size, number of blades and direction of rotation of a propeller • Special functions such as loudspeakers and water pumps • Sources of errors and their elimination • Collection of formulas for beginners in ship model building
Rigging: Period Ships Models

A fully illustrated guide to rigging models of historic ships with confidence and accuracy, using a model of the eighteenth-century HMS Melampus. The rigging of period ship models is the ultimate challenge for any modeler. An eighteenth-century man-of-war boasted mile on mile of rigging, more than one thousand blocks, and acres of canvas. To reduce this in scale, and yet retain an accurate representation, is an awesome undertaking. In this classic work, Lennarth Peterson untangles the complexities of model rigging. Using some four hundred drawings, he shows how each separate item of rigging is fitted to the masts, yards, and sails. Each drawing deals with only one particular item so that it can be seen clearly in isolation. The lead of a particular halyard, the arrangement of a bracing line—these and every other detail are depicted with startling clarity. Based on the author’s research of numerous eighteenth-century models, each one with its contemporary rigging still extant, the information is both meticulous and accurate. The remarkable visual immediacy and clarity of this work makes it truly unique and essential for any period ship modeler. In addition, the book is a “must-have” reference work for all those involved in the rigging and repair of historic ships.
