The Golden Age of the clipper
ship produced some of the most beautiful, fast and sturdy sailing ships
known to man. People marveled at the majesty of these ships under full
sail, being driven to the maximum by their captains.
Ed Tosti, author of the series on the Naiad Frigate, is in the process
of modeling one of these ships with exquisite detail in 1:72 scale. His
plank-on-frame model is, as an extra bonus, accompanied by instructions
on building a 1:96 plank-on-bulkhead model.
Book one will cover building the hull. Book two, which will be published
at a latter date, will cover finishing the main deck along with masting
and rigging her.
Even if you do not build the model, Ed’s jigs, tools and techniques are not to be missed.
The package for book one contains a 267 page, 9”x12” hard cover book
with hundreds of photos, eight sheets of plans in four colors, and a CD
with all frame drawings and lots more. This is truly a fantastic effort
by one of the master craftsmen of our time.
