4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book about an excellent model
Being involved in a simular project, I looked for, and found much useful information here, There were some things that were less detailed than I would have liked, otherwise, the book will inspire anyone contemplating such a project. The author's craftmanship is fantastic. $10 less and I'd have given it 5 stars.

Not what the title leads you to expect
When this book came out, I bought it right away. I was very disappointed- this book is not what the title lead me to expect. Chapters 1 -11 are about building a very precise scale model of Warrior.

This review is from: Building a Working Model Warship: HMS Warrior, 1860 (Hardcover)
When this book came out, I bought it right away. I was very disappointed- this book is not what the title lead me to expect. Chapters 1 -11 are about building a very precise scale model of Warrior. Chapter 12 is about ballasting the model, and a short epilogue covers launching and sailing. The author's craftmansship and technique is superb, but if you already have a book or two on shipmodelling skills, you'll probably find this material redundant. There is nothing about using a sail control unit to control the square sails. I know how to build static ship models, I wanted info about building a working model. This book does not deliver on the promise of the title! As a display model building book, I'd give it 5 stars, but as a sailing model book, it gets 1 star-- that averages out to 3!
