Developing Skills with Wood Model Ships

• If you think that wood model ships are basically
  just exquisitely detailed versions of real ships,
  think again. You don't really think that when a
  ship is destroyed in a film or movie that the
  film producers actually destroy a full size ship
  do you?
• Wooden model ships building are alive and well
  among hobbyist and architectural professionals
  alike. Many model ship builders enjoy the great
  engineering aspect of building scale models. The
  process involves careful planning and a great
  attention to detail. From an engineering stand
  point the importance of building scale model
  ships to test designs before actually building
  full scale prototypes is essential to the end
  result. The skills learned by building wood model
  ships have allowed many craftsmen to become well
  rewarded experts within the field.

• Those with a fascination of the wooden ship
  building process throughout history can
  experience some of what a ship builder may have
  had going through their minds four hundred years
  ago. A person can experience firsthand the
  evolution of why the hull is shaped the way it
  is. They can learn why the wood planks need to
  line up exactly as they do in order to not leak,
  and gain insight into the overall design from the
  wooden mast to the beauty of the sail. Each phase
  builds upon the other and you learn not only
  about ship engineering, you learn skills such as
  patience and attention to detail as well. All of
  this is part of the process of building of wood
  model ships.
• Occasionally, a hobbyist or an amateur builder of
  wood model ships will become so exceptionally
  skilled at their craft that they are offered the
  opportunity to turn pro. And if you are a
  beginner at building wood model ships, or you are
  just now thinking about buying your first kit,
  keep this in mind every professional model
  builder was once a beginner. Professional model
  builders can earn surprisingly good pay for the
  skills they developed building wood model ships.
  Often the professional will be called upon to
  create incredibly life like, scaled down versions
  of a real wooden ship for movie and film
  producers.

• There are numerous opportunities for those who
  build wood model ships to interact with one
  another. For example trade shows, model building
  groups or clubs, and even online discussion
  groups and blogs which are devoted to wood model
  ships.
