What you need is an understanding coach. Mastini leads readers from the mysteries of choosing a kit and setting up a workshop through deciphering complicated instructions and on to painting, decorating, and displaying finished models-with patience and clarity, not condescension.
He reveals dozens of shortcuts: How to plank a hull “egg-shell tight”; how to build and rig complicated mast assmeblies without profanity; how to create sails that look like sails…. And along the way he points out things that beginners usually do wrong-beforehand, not after they’ve taken hammers to their projects.
