All the information the shop modeller might need is included in this book, not least hull construction and the coppering of the ship's bottom, the building of the static steam propulsion systems, the modelling of the decks, armament, steering gear, masts, yards and rigging; even the furniture in the wardroom is described. Inspiring with the sheer quality of his workmanship and superb colour photography, the author has brought to life another of Britain's great museum ships. I'm sure that this book will become the definitive reference work for anyone wishing to build a model form this era of British naval history.

Model Boats, July 2018 – reviewed by John Deamer

For all our readers who have been following the latest superb series published in these pages by William Mowll, this volume is evidently an essential follow up. The excellent series of articles he has contributed to our magazine over the past years have been much appreciated by many modelers for the very high level of craftsmanship he has achieved in building the subject ships and in bringing to the fore advanced techniques in many aspects of their construction...

...This a book that will be appreciated by scale modelers of any standard, and also by anyone interested in the warships of the later Victorian period. It is a must for those of our readers who have enjoyed Will’s publications in our pages here.
