Types	of	ship	model	construction	The	most	common	materials	used	for	ship	models	are:	Wood—commonly	solid	wood,	two	pieces	of	wood	with	a	vertical	seam	or	slabs	of	wood	placed	one	on	top	of	each	other.	The	aim	of	training	on	manned	models	is	to	enable	seamen	to	acquire	or	to	develop
  manoeuvring	skills	through	a	better	understanding	of	a	ship's	behaviour	as	it	sails	in	restricted	water	conditions	at	manoeuvring	speed.	The	centre	was	originally	created	in	1967	near	Grenoble	by	Laboratoire	Dauphinois	d'Hydraulique.	In	the	early	part	of	the	20th	century,	amateur	ship	model	kits	became	available	from	companies	such	as	Bassett-
  Lowke	in	Great	Britain[24][25]	and	Boucher's	in	the	United	States.[26]	Early	20th	century	models	comprised	a	combination	of	wooden	hulls	and	cast	lead	for	anchors,	deadeyes,	and	rigging	blocks.	The	second	type	of	model	may	or	may	not	have	been	used	in	real	life,	but	were	purely	magical	boats.[14]	The	majority	of	boats	found	in	tombs	are	carved
  from	wood.[14]	Several	boat	and	ship	models	were	found	in	the	tomb	of	Tutankhamen,	dating	back	to	the	Sixth	Dynasty,[15]	and	in	the	tomb	of	Meketre	(2061–2010	BC).[16]	The	wide	variety	of	vessels	depicted	by	the	models	in	these	two	tombs	has	provided	archaeologists	new	information	on	the	types	of	boats	that	were	used	in	Egypt.[14]	Moreover,
  the	presence	of	boat	and	ship	models	in	the	tombs	attests	to	the	paramount	importance	of	boats	and	ships	to	the	Nile-going	people	of	Egypt.

There	is	an	advantage	however	in	the	narrower	gauge	as	this	allows	more	room	for	the	outside	motion	of	outside	cylindered	steam	locomotives	which	must	be	overscale	in
  order	to	function	correctly.	ISBN	3-7822-0731-9.	One	boat	model	from	a	house	deposit	in	Mochlos,	Crete,	dating	to	around	3000BC,	is	thought	to	be	too	small	to	be	a	war	ship.	1975.	To	find	the	principal	dimensions	(length,	height,	and	width)	of	a	(square	rigged)	model	in	1/8"	scale,	then:	Find	scaled	length	by	dividing	137	by	8	=	17.125"	Find	50%	of
  17.125	and	add	it	to	17.125	(8.56	+	17.125	=	25.685,	about	25.5)	Typically,	the	height	of	this	model	will	be	its	length	less	10%	or	about	23.1/2"	Typically,	the	beam	of	this	model	will	be	its	length	divided	by	4,	or	about	6	1/2"	Although	this	technique	allows	you	to	judge	the	approximate	length	of	a	proposed	model	from	its	true	footage,	only	square
  riggers	will	fit	the	approximate	height	and	beam	by	the	above	factors.	^	Hirschfeld,	N.	Archived	from	the	original	on	2007-09-06.	"A	Newly	Acquired	Ancient	Ship-model	in	Kassel,	Germany."

  construction	errors	that	might	have	evolved	as	the	ship	itself	took	form.[citation	needed]	During	the	Napoleonic	wars	French	and	English	seamen	who	were	taken	prisoner	were	confined,	sometimes	for	many	years,	and	in	their	boredom	sought	relief	by	building	ship	models	from	scraps	of	wood	and	bone.[20]	This	evolved	into	something	of	an	art	form
  and	the	models	were	sold	to	the	public,[21]	which	responded	by	supplying	the	prisoners	with	ivory	so	that	the	models	would	be	more	decorative.
  Due	to	a	planned	power	outage	on	Friday,	1/14,	between	8am-1pm	PST,	some	services	may	be	impacted.	Instead	of	using	plans	made	specifically	for	models,	many	model	shipwrights	use	the	actual	blueprints	for	the	original	vessel.	One	can	take	drawings	for	the	original	ship	to	a	blueprint	service	and	have	them	blown	up,	or	reduced	to	bring	them	to
  the	new	scale.For	instance,	if	the	drawings	are	in	1/4"	scale	and	you	intend	to	build	in	3/16",	tell	the	service	to	reduce	them	25%.
