Old Time Ship Models
Unlike most hobbies, ship model making requires few expensive tools.
Almost every household, no matter how small, harbors the beginnings of a fine model maker's tool kit.
The rest can be made,improvised, and bought as the work progresses.
Most important of all tools to the maker of ship models is his knife.
It may be anything from an inexpensive pocketknife to a high-grade wood carver's tool.
Price and handle style are unimportant as long as its blade is keen and has the quality of taking and holding an edge.
Naturally some simplification over the methods adopted by highly skilled professionals is essential, but, if the methods described are carefully followed in a common-sense way, there is no reason why the results should not in every case be highly gratifying.
In conclusion, a word on the thorny subject of accuracy in detail: much has been said and written on what was and was not done hundreds of years ago, suffice it to say that, at the best, the contemporary evidence is meager, much of doubtful authenticity; nor is every old drawing or print necessarily correct in every detail.
The Author has therefore endeavored to utilize what appears to be the most reliable and probable detail, and leaves it to others more skilled and experienced to determine the correctness and precise dates of individual features, hoping that he will be tenderly treated by those competent to criticise, who may perhaps be reminded that the book is an attempt to explain how to make old ship models, by one who has had many years' practical experience.
The methods described may not be the best, they certainly are not the only ways, but incontrovertibly they are practical ways; a statement that is substantiated by the three models which are specially dealt with in this book. These were made from the instructions in this book by amateurs with little previous experience, and it is their efforts that largely form the subject of the numerous photographic reproductions of the work in progress.

The representative scale model is, or should be, the great aim of every amateur craftsman, and such models can be made in various ways; the masts, sails and rigging can be complete in detail, or may be somewhat simplified.
The hull is perhaps the most difficult, it can be built up with a keel, frames and separate planks; can be made on the laminated system described in Chapter V., or can be carved from the solid.
It is also possible to make an excellent model from cardboard, and the Little Revenge, the famous ship of Sir Richard Grenville, illustrated in fig. 7, is a case in point; the whole of the hull, planking, decks, deck fittings and many other parts are made from cardboard, the masts and spars are wood, the sails of paper, cotton and beads being used for the rigging.
Pictorial models of this kind are remarkably realistic, and make attractive ornaments.
They are one of the best types for the novice to attempt as a first essay in old-time ship modeling.
Then there are a vast number of so-called scale models which are commercially made in quantities; some of them are quite nice, others the reverse, and most of them are sadly lacking in character.
Herein lies the chief justification of modelling, the representation of character allied with as scrupulous an adherence to detail as circumstances permit.
