Sailing Ships From Plastic Kits - Kerry Jang

Models Of Sailing Ships, With Their Towering Masts And Billowing Sails, Have Always Held A Special Fascination For Model Makers Because They Capture All The Romance Of The Sea, Shipboard Life, And A Fighting Spirit. However, Many Would-be Modellers Are Discouraged By The Inherent Complexity Of The Subject Especially The Masts And Rigging, As Well As The Often-sumptuous Decoration. Plastic Kit Manufacturers Were Quick To Capitalise On This Interest And Produced Kits That Were Advertised As Easy And Reasonably Quick To Assemble, Featuring Ready-made Detail That Is Easily Tackled By Modellers Of Varying Skills And Ages With The Promise Of A Good Result.
