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 details for this model of the Ark Royal, which was originally built for Sir Walter Raleigh, are based on an old picture in the Macpherson Collection, in the Naval Museum at Greenwich.
Some outstanding features of this ship are the enormous sheer of the stern; the brilliantly decorated sails, which Avere probably hoisted only on State or gala occasions; the side-castles and stern gallery.
The picturesque appearance of the boat makes it very attractive as a prototype for a model; it has four masts, of which the fore and mainmasts are in three parts, with tops at the joint or doublings. The mizen mast and the bonaventure or aftermast hoist lateen sails, the mizen hoisting a topsail in addition.
Cardboard having been chosen as the material of construction for a model of this ship, certain limitations are necessarily encountered, and for this and other reasons some little modification has been essential to ensure a satisfactory and pleasing model, but the extent of these variations can be judged by comparing the print referred to, or of a reproduction thereof, with the pictures of the model.
The possibility of using cardboard effectively as a constructional material for old-time ship models has not yet been fully realized, but some idea of what can be done with it may be gleaned from the illustrations of the completed model, while those showing stages in the work should assist in elucidating the constructive methods.
