If you write in dry official language, then in book "Building Model Ships" summarized history of shipbuilding. Much attention given general principles designing ships and models. Information about the structure of ancient ships and their armament is provided, and it is explained in detail what material is used and how best to build ship models. Great amount diagrams and drawings illustrate each point " Building model ships".
And if you write it as it really is, then Kurti's book "Building Model Ships"- a real "bible" (or Old Testament) for all ship modellers. Beginners will learn from it not only basic principles and secrets of modeling, but also an understanding of the ship's design. And this, in turn, allows you not just to copy drawings, but to actually build a model, which brings incomparably More fun. However, the book Building ship models"It's not for nothing that they call it an encyclopedia - even experienced modelers will find new and interesting information in it, be it the history of shipbuilding or ship modeling techniques. The book" Building ship models" is the most cited book on our forum, and this is not without reason: in it you can find answers to all questions of initial complexity and many questions of medium complexity. Finally, this book has so far been published only once: in the 1970s by the publishing house "Shipbuilding ", so most of us don’t have this book in paper form, only in electronic form. And now it’s possible to put it on bookshelf this source on which we grew up.
In addition, Orazio Curti's book is suitable for a wide range of readers interested in the history and design of sailing ships.

Alexandra, Sevastopol, 21.06.2017
I’m ashamed to admit, but I didn’t read much of the literature at school. Now I'm making up for it. I was looking for "Building ship models. Encyclopedia of ship modeling" for download. Your website is out. I didn’t regret that I came to see you. One SMS on the phone - and the book is mine! For free! Thank you for that! Will it always be like this or will there be paid content at some point?
