Rigging Period Ships Models: A Step-by-step Guide

bonjour , cet ouvrage decrit precisement les voilures et les parties de grement des bateaux à 2 ,3,4 mats des siecles 16ieme,17ieme,18 ieme ( vaisseaux de ligne à canons , fregates .. entre autre) et permet de connaitre comment sont constitutées les matures et comment les cordages sont réalisés .Outil utile .

Esta dirigido para los modelistas navales, es buen libro lleno de ilustraciones (y poco texto), solo le veo que es de tapa duara (así lo compré) y al ser para consulta es algo más dificil de usar.Buen contenido, aunque en inglés.

Das Buch hält was es verspricht. Detaillierte Zeichnungen und ausreichende Erklärungen helfen mir sehr bei der Umsetzung der Takelage meiner Schiffsmodelle. Ein sehr gutes und lehrreiches Buch.

I have given a rating on this product several weeks ago

As others have repeatedly said, this book is solely an illustration of sailing ship rigging for the model builder (except for a one page introduction). The pictures are arranged in an entirely logical manner and the labeling of the various parts being shown allows one to develop a really good feeling for the vocabulary used in sailing seamanship. Having no experience with sailing prior to beginning my first model, the use of this book to translate the seaman's lingo into something I could understand has proven invaluable. Ordering this book was a stroke of genius for me. It would have taken me many times longer to understand what I was to do without it. If you want to build a scale model of a historic sailing ship, this book should be prerequisite, if not an all out necessity.
