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.

(Tempest/187152) - It makes sense now! You can Google in Klingon, and Mac OS X allows you to It makes sense now! You can Google in Klingon, and Mac OS X allows you to select Klingon as an available language. OK, so it's a stretch, but I did find it rather ulta cool that Klingon is available. :) Two Episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series This series originally aired on NBC between 1973 and 1974. In "The Terratin Incident" the crew begins to shrink, and in "The Time Trap" the Enterprise, while battling a Klingon ship, slips into a time/space pocket containing numerous other starships. Click on pissbaby's videos for the latter. (Mandel/187220) - I set my language to Klingon, for the hell of it. The only difference I have I set my language to Klingon, for the hell of it. The only difference I have seen as of yet is google.com. It is in fact coming up in Klingon. Kinda funny. Klingon Word: Gladness in my Heart! Hosted by Joel Anderson.

A rigged model of a Flemish Carrack in the Science Museum, South Kensington, London, represents a ship of the largest class known in Flanders about 1450.
With the exception of the long-boat and the deck arrangements which are based on other contemporary sources, every detail of the model is copied from a contemporary print by the Flemish master "W. A."
The print, which bears evidence of being a portrait of some ex voto church model, and is thus an excellent guide to the rig of the period, is so completely and carefully executed as to leave little or nothing of the original unrecorded, the perspective alone being at fault.
An interesting collection of early ship models are to be seen in the Musee de Marine in Paris, and others are to be found in other museums in the principal cities of the world.
