Model Ship Kits Wooden

• Admiralty style ship models were built by ship
  builders from the 15th to the 19th century. They
  served as a design aid for the engineers, a
  simulator for those responsible for operating the
  vessel and as a "show and tell" display to be
  used for those raising funds from investors.
• Exposing the framing and internal and deck
  furnishings an Admiralty model will have some
  parts of it un-planked. You can build them with
  the help of Model Ship Kits Wooden. Usually
  masts, spars and some rigging are in place. The
  keel, stern post and stem are erected and the
  ribs are attached to the keel. This will then
  represent the general form of the hull. Some of
  the planks are then applied to the ribbed frame.
  In some Admiralty boat models the entire hull
  will be planked while only a portion of the deck
  will be planked. In other models, a side of the
  hull will be left un-planked while the deck is
  planked. Another version will have the entire
  hull un-planked while the deck is planked. An
  Admiralty style model could also be a cross
  section of the hull. This is where all the
  planking is in place however the model would only
  represent part of the ship such as the bow, mid
  section or stern.

• The advantage of building an Admiralty ship model
  to the ship model builder is that you can add
  detail to better represent the purpose and era of
  the ship using wooden model ship kits. Using the
  Bounty as an example, representation can be made
  for the galley, armament room, carpentry shop,
  hold, captains quarters etc. The Bounty's
  botanical mission was to pick up bread fruit
  plants so some plants can be added as well as an
  area that would have been used for the studying
  of plants and animals discovered along its
  journey. Prior to starting the ship model the
  builder should not only study the ship that is
  being represented but also the era in which the
  ship was built.
• Ship building changed from century to century.
  More realism could be added like ballast placed
  in the hold prior to adding cargo.

• As an alternative to the standard plank on
  bulkhead that most ship model kits utilize, the
  builder can either purchase one of the few planks
  on frame kits that are available or convert the
  kit to a plank on frame.
