This new step-by-step masterclass from one of the world's leading ship modellers describe, in more than 200 photographs, how to build a small 1/192 scale model of the privateer schooner PRINCE DE NEUFCHATEL, either as a waterline model or as a full-hull display model.

Taking this schooner as a prototype, the author passes on a wealth of experience that will enable modellers of all skill levels to confidentaly tackle every aspect of scratch-building any small fore-and-aft rigged vessel.

The author's colour photographs, along with the practical text, describe every aspect of the task from forming the hull to the shaping of the flags. This book is destined to become a classic work for ship modellers eveywhere, and whatever type of model is being attempted, wise and pragmatic instructions as well as inspiration will be found on every page.
