Bow to Stern: How to Build a Model Ship from Scratch

By Stella Bell

Bow to Stern: How to Build a Model Ship from Scratch, is a beginners guide for hobbyists who wish to begin the craft of building model ships, or improve upon their current approaches. Experienced model ship builder, R.F. "Bob" Raymond, was frustrated by the lack of guidance he could find on the internet or in libraries when he first began building ships almost 25 years ago. A retired custom mason contractor by trade, Raymond has since built more than 60 ships, every component part from scratch. He has learned through those many projects -- and trial and error -- new techniques, tricks and materials that have led to high quality, award-winning model ships. Raymond describes step by step how to build a model ship, using simple materials and easy to understand techniques that fit within anyone's budget and with basic wood working skills. Amateur builders just need to bring their enthusiasm, creativity and patience in order to create nautical masterpieces that builders will be proud to display and share.
