Judging by the letters received from our readers, many are passionate about creating copies of ships relished compilation copyright materials that reveal various secrets of working on microcode. Today we introduce modelers with experience A. Krainov. THE COPYING SCALE. In the XVII—XVIII centuries, when the craftsmen of that time were created many surviving to the present day models of sailing ships, there was developed a scale based on calculating dimensions in feet and inches. The tradition of the choice of scale has passed through the centuries, and today the most successful I must admit 1:32 and 1:4B.
