If you’re interested in making model boats then this could be the most important message you will ever read.

From The Desk Of: Edward Knox
Dear Friend,

Since you’ve found this website I suppose it’s ok to let you know… “I’m a model ship building addict.” The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for model ship building tips and tricks. That’s what led me to put this website up. Let me explain…

While surfing around the internet, I stumbled upon something so fantastic that it immediately got my attention… In fact, I discovered something sooo amazing that at first I thought it was "too good to be true" like most things are.

You see, a few months ago, I was doing some research on Mr. Edward W. Hobbs one of the most well-known and respected boat builders in recent history. I noticed that most of his work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important pieces of work,‘How To Make Old-Time Ship Models’. 

Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper; I started to send off a few emails asking questions, but unfortunately every road I seemed to head down was a dead end… until a couple of weeks ago that is…

By a stroke of luck, I emailed my story to one of my favorite site’s webmasters… as it turned out he had an old copy of this difficult to find book - it was right under my damn nose. After numerous emails I finally got him to mail me his copy.

I Uncovered One Of The Most Important Model Ship Building Manuscripts Of All Time....

Even though it was first published in 1955  this book has the best model ship building  information I have ever seen.

In the 20 chapters here’s just a snippet of what you’ll learn:

• All about plywood and how to use it—this wood is primarily used in boat building. Using the wrong type of wood will result in a boat that will ‘sink’.
  
  
• All about lofting—you’ll need to get this right, learn all about degrees and this is so important when ‘constructing your boat’.
  
  
• The simple steps on how to use ‘frames and harpin’s’—In this chapter, you’ll discover how to cut, measure, design and put together these parts.
  
  
• Why you should check un-accessible parts before ‘planking’. You’ll be shown how to things like—‘bevel chine logs’ and what they mean.
  
  
• What tools, materials and accessories to use...you will be shown what are the best tools and materials to use to make the best and safest boats.
  
  
• Tips & tricks for you that will have your boat built faster and better because they are from experts.
  
  
• Secrets of how to build each particular boat—each section gives you the plans, diagrams and step-by-step instructions that are clearly laid out for YOU.

And there’s loads more…

At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on a copy…

Well here’s the good news.

After doing even more research (I told you I was an model ship addict) I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish Mr.. Hobbs’s complete work on this website.

Because model ship building  is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Believe it or not, I’ve decided to do something completely unheard of these days. I’m going to let you have this amazing manuscript for nothing.

It’s FREE… Yes 100% FREE

Now you have no excuse for not being able to build a model ship that you can take out on week ends and thoroughly enjoy yourselves.
