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.

In the early days a flag was flown mostly to display the sign or armorial bearing of the dignitary entitled to it; such flags were generally square in shape and known as a Banner.
The banner was a personal ensign and generally indicated that he who bore it was the leader of a military force.
Ultimately the banner developed into the "Royal Standard" of to-day.
For centuries the national ensign was the Red cross of St. George, and this flag was flown to indicate nationality.
Furthermore from Tudor days-or earlier-a long tapering flag called a streamer-or in later days a pennant-was hoisted from the "top" or flown above the forecastle. Hence for mediaeval ship models the flag flown would be the Banner of the leader, the Red Cross of St. George and the pennant.
Additionally a number of secondary flags-often referred to as standards and bearing the motto or badges of the owners were displayed.
Up to Stuart times the Lord High Admiral or person in command of a fleet was entitled to fly the Royal Standard as deputy for the Sovereign, and the
Lord Howard so flew it on the Ark Royal when he defeated the Spanish Armada.
From this very brief and incomplete review it will be appreciated that the correct flags to be shown on any ship model is a matter calling for careful investigation, and more particularly so with models of ships of the middle ages.
On models of later period the correct depiction of the national flag of the British Empire the Union Jack must be carefully observed.
In the time of James 1st, the national flag-flown from the Main Top was the Red Cross of St. George fimbriated with white and imposed on the white cross of St. Andrew on a pale blue ground.
