This full-colour annual (the successor to Model Shipwright) focuses on all facets of 'scratch-built' model shipbuilding, as well as related articles on restoration, archaeology, historical research and marine art. It is illustrated with modelmakers' own photographs, archival plans, prints and artworks.
This edition includes an article on Victory's gunnery; the team who sail the Matthew replica provide insight into sailing a fifteenth-century ship and Jonathon Kinghorn describes the techniques and paints for the Painting of Ships, 1750-1850.
