The Royal Yacht Fubbs of 1682 - Research and Building a 1:48 Scale Model - by David Antscherl and Effie Moneypenny

Embark on a captivating journey through maritime history with "The Stuart Royal Yacht Fubbs of 1682," a masterful exploration of one of Charles II's most cherished royal vessels. This meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated volume offers ship modeling enthusiasts, naval historians, and craftsmen an unparalleled look at the reconstruction and building of a 1:48 scale model of this historically significant yacht, not the often modeled rebuild of 1725.

Renowned ship modeler David Antscherl and Effie Moneypenny, the founding member of Stuart Yacht Research Group, join forces to bring their extensive expertise to this project, providing readers with:

• A brief history of the Fubbs, from her 1682 launch through major repairs and rebuilds
• Detailed analysis of conflicting evidence between contemporary paintings and models
• Step-by-step documentation of the model-making process, from framing to final decorations
• Insights into 17th century shipbuilding techniques, including the recently deciphered "shipwright's secrets" of hull design
• Hundreds of photographs illustrating the intricate work of creating miniature carvings, gilding, and other decorative elements
• Four sheets of plans: the sheer & profile, the framing plan, and two sheets of individual frames* 

Whether you're an experienced ship modeler looking to tackle an advanced project, a naval history enthusiast, or an artist who simply appreciates fine craftsmanship, this book offers a wealth of information and inspiration.
