DaveBaxt Posted April 9 Share #1 Posted April 9 Just picked up a very good copy of the 2012 . I didn,t realize that it was an Annual and came out every year. Until I received the book. My primary reason for buying , was for the construction of the Frigate Minerva and learning something about plank on frame and scratch building. Although at this stage being a relative beginner, I feel I am a long way from scratch building. I have also seen a few other additions of Model Shipright come up second hand from time to time. I got this one for £10 plus delivery. I liked the look of what was inside and just wondered what peoples ideas of these books in general are and other years published? Best regards Dave. allanyed and mtaylor 2 Quote Completed St Canute Billings Dec 2020 Completed HMS Bounty Amati May 2021 Finished Currently building HM Bark Endeavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted April 9 Share #2 Posted April 9 Dave, you've got a lot more to collect. 'Model Shipwright was published as a quarterly journal from 1972 to 2009 and as an annual book from 2010 to 2013. There were some excellent artilces and wonderful models in these publications over the years. John DaveBaxt, druxey and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI David I have 17 photos that I took of the model of Minerva (38) 1780 at Preble Hall in Annapolis and would be happy to send them your way if you wish. The description card they had for her in 2011 follows as well as a closeup of her planking at the bow.

DaveBaxt Posted April 9 Author Share #4 Posted April 9 You are too kind Allan and the photos would be welcome. I can see for the photos in the journal she is much more ornate than the Artois class frigate and the level of skill in these photos is another level especially the carvings. Regarding the journals, perhaps I could start with the later yearly ones to begin with. However I am currently saving my pennies for a copy of the book 'The Master shipwrights Secrets' by Richard Endsor but wonder if it is too early a period for my current study. Thank you again Allan for your input and quick response.

druxey Posted April 9 Share #5 Posted April 9 Yes, Richard Endsor's excellent books are from the 1670 to 1690 period - about a century earlier. Look at some of SeaWatchBooks' offerings that cover the 1760 to 1790 time period. There were excellent articles on 18th century ship construction by David White in Model Shipwright years ago. They appeared in issue numbers as follows: On Traditional wooden shipbuilding: 47, 49. 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63 Understanding ships' draughts: 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 58 chris watton, oakheart, DaveBaxt and 4 others 7 Quote 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaager Posted April 9 Share #7 Posted April 9 Dave, Perhaps those of you on your island could: take a hostage, form a mob with pitchforks and torches (Universal's b/w Frankenstein), or find a self aware Suit at Pen & Sword/Seaforth/Conway and get them to reissue the Model Shipwright journals on CD and/or USB stick. mtaylor, druxey and oakheart 3 Quote NRG member 45 years Current: HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.
