Title: Ship Model Building
About the book “Building Models of Ships” by O. Kurti
“Building Ship Models” is a detailed instruction on ship modeling for beginners. Encyclopedia O. Kurti in an accessible form reveals the basic techniques and principles of ship design. After reading, everyone will be able to independently build a simple model or radio-controlled design.
Ship modeling is a technical art, which consists in creating small copies of ships. The construction of small boats and ship models is considered an ancient creative direction. Even primitive people created primitive children's toys in the form of wooden boats. In some cultures, ship models have religious significance. They were put in the grave of the deceased in the hope that the boat would help him get to another world.
For the first time, the book "Building Models of Ships" was published in 1977. It was reprinted several times in the USSR, and then in Russia. The encyclopedia is very popular among ship modellers.
The Encyclopedia “Building Ship Models” by O. Kurti is ideal for amateurs and beginners. It describes in detail the device of different ship models. Moreover, in the book the principles of their design are laid out "on the shelves". O. Kurti explains what ships are made of. “Construction of ship models” will be interesting not only to ship modellers, but also to fans of history. The author talks about sailing ships of different eras, provides information about their arrangement.
From the book you will learn which tree is better to use for building models. Here are described in detail options for masts, guns, anchors and other details. The encyclopedia has information on the necessary tools. For a better understanding of the material on the pages of the encyclopedia there are detailed illustrations. All details, dimensions and whole drawings are shown here. The author gives numerous examples and does not skimp on useful tips.
The book has separate chapters on radio-controlled ships. So those who wish can build not only static vessels, but also moving models. The reader is given schemes for creating miniature steam engines. To build such an engine, you do not need special skills and technical education. Learning the basics of ship modeling does not take much time.
It will not take much time and effort to create simple models. Small enough financial investments to do the first work.
