garyshipwright Posted June 30, 2013 #1 Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Just to help out those in the hobby and new folks coming in to the hobby, here is a list of books that one may look in to getting for your library, or for those new to the hobby just starting to build up one. Weither it be PDF on the computer or hard back books that one just enjoy holding and reading. This isn't my list but one that Portia Takakjian figure would help others in the hobby. It is a list that I followed and since then have added even more books but does give one a base line to go by. Some are a little on the costly side and other's probably long out of print but do hope its of some help to you, it was for me.

Walter Biles Posted July 9, 2013 #2 Posted July 9, 2013 At first this seemed to be too blurry to get anything from it. However, if you click on the thumbnail you can read it. It expands the page and clarifies the letters to where it is quite legible.

trippwj Posted July 18, 2013 #3 Posted July 18, 2013 Those are fantastic lists of references, Gary. Any idea what these were published in (magazine)? I can see an expansion on my library in the not too distant future (well, after the move is over, at least).

garyshipwright Posted July 28, 2013 Author #4 Posted July 28, 2013 Hi Wayne. Sorry for not getting back sooner. Believe they came from the orginal Ships and Scale back in the 80's. Hope that helps sir. Gary trippwj 1 HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779
flying_dutchman2 Posted August 14, 2013 #5 Posted August 14, 2013 Great list, thanks. Marc Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

Anja Posted December 1, 2014 #7 Posted December 1, 2014 Chen and Brian, Back in March during server maintenance, there were some issues and some photos got lost. The problem has been resolved but the lost photos were not able to be restored. It is explained here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/6021-server-maintenance-scheduled/ Maybe that is what happened here as well.

druxey Posted December 1, 2014 #10 Posted December 1, 2014 If the list came from the 1980's, then it misses out many great books that have been published over the past 20 to 30 years. And there are many of them, which is a huge advantage for model-makers today. mtaylor 1 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
garyshipwright Posted December 2, 2014 Author #11 Posted December 2, 2014 Hi guys. Give me a day or so and I will try to put the pictures back. Can't seem to find them on the computer at the moment so bear with me. Gary Canute and mtaylor 2 HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779
garyshipwright Posted December 5, 2014 Author #12 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys. I finally got around to redoing the photo's. Just click on the photo and it should enlarge so that you can get a good look at the books. As druxey said it is a little dated back to the 1980's but does help one who doesn't know about them and just may want to add them to their library.
