Modeling an 18th century armed longboat 1750-1760 (MS1460)
Year: 2018 Language: English Author: Foran K. Genre: Manual Publisher: Model Shipways Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 48 Description: This 26 foot long boat was designed based on a contemporary model in the National Maritime Museum. This longboat was used circa 1750-1760 and was typical of this type of small craft. Plans for the kit were drafted based on the contemporary drafts from the period. The longboat kit has been decorated to match the NMM model that inspired it. Even though this model was inspired by another, many other color schemes are possible. There are many more contemporary models that show various decorative themes. I would encourage all of you who are building this model to visit the museum’s website at www.nmm.ac.uk. Navigate to their online collections where they have an online gallery of ship models from their collection. If you search for the keyword “longboat” or “long boat” you will see many images in high resolution of contemporary long boat models, one of which this prototype was stylized after. Another very good source of information on these small boats is “The Arming and Fitting of English Ships of War” by Brian Lavery. This book discusses the many details you sometimes find on these longboats. Some references to this book will be mentioned throughout these instructions.
