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.

For those who are suffering from stress, just about the hardest thing to find is stress relief. Stress can often continue itself on its own energy and, as it mounts up upon itself, it builds itself into an absolute mental frenzy. Unfortunately, this sort of mental frenzy is ultimately counter-productive and leaves the mind so frenzied that it cannot actually take care of whatever is causing the stress. Thus, stress relief is a way to help the mind attend to the necessities of life.
The first thing you need to realize about stress is that you can get rid of it. In fact, you can control your mind and your emotions and you do not need to hang on to stress. If you learn to get rid of stress all on your own, you will be able to get rid of it that much easier the next time. You control your brain a lot more than you know.
With that in mind, the first way to help give yourself stress relief is with your feet. That is, if something is causing you all sorts of stress, you need to simply stand up and walk away from it. This will give your mind the break it needs to calm down and come to grips with the situation. Simply allowing it to stress you out more and more is simply not a productive plan. So get up, walk away, and give yourself a break.
Once you have walked away, there are several things you can do for stress relief. One of the easiest things is simply cleaning the house. That's right, vacuuming, dusting, ironing, scrubbing the floors and cleaning the countertops will actually help you relieve stress. Simply organizing messes and cleaning away dirt will help you immeasurably. This is because you will be taking care of messes, much in the manner you want to clean up the messes in your life. By sweeping away the dust and grime, you will be taking charge of your own home and, in a way, removing the clutter from your life by removing the clutter from your home.
Another method of stress relief is through a hobby. This can be model ship building, stamp collecting, or any number of other means to help you keep your mind off of things. Likewise, woodworking or even fishing can help you get some stress relief and clear away the fog of anxiety that can arise from the stresses of everyday life. By focusing on something other than what is pressing you, you can get rid of those piling stresses that threaten to take you over. Hobbies give your mind something to concentrate on. And by concentrating on something completely meaningless, your mind can finally relax and let go of the pressures that build up with every little concern.
For those who like to be a little more active, playing a sport is a great way to relieve stress. Just going outside and shooting some hoops or joining a league can give you stress relief through simple physical exertion. These activities will keep your body active and provide some necessary relaxation to your mind.
You can also get stress relief through writing. By concentrating on what is on your mind and putting it down on paper, it allows the stress to have an outlet. It puts your concerns into words and those words can be either kept or discarded. This is particularly effective for people who don't have anyone to talk to and need to tell someone about what is going on or even what is going wrong. So keep a diary or a journal and let yourself get rid of your stress by putting ink onto a page.
However, the most important method of stress relief is the method that works for you. Many people like to take a nice hot bath to get rid of stress. Some enjoy playing with a pet. Others find excellent stress relief through meditation. It doesn't matter what you do, just make sure it works and then make sure that you do it.
Stress relief is hard to find, but it is necessary in the hectic lives that we lead. But many other people have managed to rid themselves of their concerns for a little while and get on with their lives. Stress does not need to overcome you and, though it may seem like a monumental task, it can be removed. So find a way to relax and make sure that you do it. Once you learn how to remove your stress, you will find that you are much happier and much more productive and much more able to deal with the issues that can cause stress every single day.

Painting is a most important matter and is carried out from time to time as is most convenient.
One of the most difficult items in cardboard modelling is to determine the exact shape of each piece of card; they cannot be ascertained directly from an ordinary picture or photographic reproduction, but only from a specially prepared design which must show the hull lines, a profile or sheer plan, a deck plan, and sundry other details, particularly cross sections at each bulkhead, or where one deck rises above another.
From such drawings the shapes of the various parts can be determined, and then the pieces can be cut to shape and assembled. It is practically impossible to determine the shapes for the parts by the trial and error method: it is imperative to make proper drawings and work accurately to them.
The Ark Royal here described has been designed in this way, and the various pieces needed for its construction have been determined and are reproduced full size on plate No. 2. If this plate is flattened and carefully pasted on to 3-ply Bristol board or thin white cardboard, then all that is necessary is to cut the various pieces to shape and assemble them in proper order.
Novices will find this procedure is a great help, a completely satisfactory result being certain.
