Indispensable for the serious model builder, this book offers hobbyists a true understanding of the masting, rigging, and most important fittings of American clipper ships and packet ships of the Great Age of Sail. It also represents a treasury of important information for naval and social historians, sailing enthusiasts, and students of Americana. Enhanced with over 270 clear, detailed drawings of ships' components, this volume gives the model builder a deep understanding of the workings of a fully rigged and appointed sailing ship.
After initial chapters on varying types of ship models, including the built-up model and wooden-sail models, the author devotes individual chapters to the masting of ships, mastheads, the standing rigging, the running rigging, foot-ropes, the blocks, steering wheels, the ship's galley, pumps, ship ironwork, copper sheathing, the ground tackle, gun ports, boats, and davits. He includes as well invaluable tables and lists of data that offer opportunities to compare vital statistics on rigging, masting, and more.
Charles G. Davis was a well-known naval architect, shipbuilder, master seaman, racing yachtsman, and nautical chronicler. His lifelong love affair with the great ships of the past resulted in several classic works on ships and ship model building. The present volume is one of the latter, an extremely thorough, practical, and readable guide to building ship models in authentic detail and in proper proportion. In all, The Ship Model Builder's Assistant offers a treasury of both descriptive and "how-to" information essential to model builders and highly enlightening for all fascinated by the great sailing ships of America's past.

全手绘的黑白插图，小号印刷字体，很有小时候英语课本的感觉。内容丰富，用词也比较通俗简单，76.3元能买到美国原版印刷，不错！
Excellent, excellent book. I've been building wooden ship models for over 20 years and yet I still found this little book to be a most enjoyable read, packed full of very useful information. The original copyright is 1926 and it's incredible to realize that every nautical term used back then in reference to ship modelling is still used today. Hands down this is one of my best pieces of reference material. Before I start another project I'll take time to read this book over again.
A nice well written and illustrated book dealing with the details of a ships rigging, deck details, etc. A must have book for anyone building a wood ship model (even a plastic one could be upgraded using this information). It even deals with planking which is a very important part of the wood ship building process. I purchased my copy "used" after loosing my original book..I found a four leaf clover between the pages! I hope it will work its magic.
Practical, but there are too many terms in the text that are not defined. A glossary would be helpful. Figures are a bit small.
This book was very helpful with regards to rigging and other fine details of construction that are never covered in instruction manuals. I bought the set of three books that you recommended and they are wonderful.
big help in model boat building tells you everything you need to know.
