The rigging of period ship models is arguably the most complex task which any modeller has to take on. The very scale of the work is daunting. An eighteenth-century man-o-war boasted mile upon mile of rigging, over 1,000 blocks and acres of canvas. This book aims to make the modeller's job logical and straightforward. The author has, after studying numerous eighteenth-century models now located in museums, drawn some 400 diagrams which show clearly how each separate item of rigging is fitted to the masts, yards and sails. Each drawing deals with only one particular aspect so allowing the reader to see it in isolation. For instance, the fore deadeyes and channels are shown before the shrouds are added, and these in turn are depicted before the ratlines are added; and the backstays are shown without the shrouds confusing the image. Clear headings and concise captions add to the ease with which the book can be used. Whether a modelmaker needs to rig a whole sip or just requires information on one aspect, it should all be here.

VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Rigging Period Ship Models by Lennarth Petersson Summary: The rigging of period ship models is the most complex task which any modeller has to take on, for an eighteenth-century man-of-war boasted mile on mile of rigging, more than 1,000 blocks, and acres of canvas. To reduce this in scale, and yet retain an accurate representation, is an awesome undertaking. This now classic work untangles the complex web, and, using some 400 drawings, the author shows clearly how each separate item of rigging is fitted to the masts, yards and sails. Each drawing deals with only one particular item so that it can be seen clearly in isolation. The lead of a particular halliard, the arrangement of a bracing line, these and every other detail is depicted with startling clarity. Based on the author's research of numerous eighteenth-century models, each one with its contemporary rigging still extant, the information is both meticulous and accurate. The remarkable visual immediacy and clarity of this work makes it truly unique and no modeller of period ships can afford to be without it at his side. In addition, the book is a 'must-have' practical reference work for all those involved in the rigging and repair of historic ships. Author: Lennarth Petersson Publisher: Chatham Publishing.
