The title of this book is a little misleading. While the book does cover some model construction, what it really deals with are details, from deck fittings to rigging details. There are hundreds of drawings within its pages that cover many aspects of fitting out a ship. This is where its real value lies. As a modeler's guide, it falls short. As a reference, it excels.
