Indispensable for the serious model builder, this book offers hobbyists a true understanding of the masting, rigging, and most important fittings of American clipper ships and packet ships of the Great Age of Sail. It also represents a treasury of important information for naval and social historians, sailing enthusiasts, and students of Americana. Enhanced with over 270 clear, detailed drawings of ships' components, this volume gives the model builder a deep understanding of the workings of a fully rigged and appointed sailing ship.
After initial chapters on varying types of ship models, including the built-up model and wooden-sail models, the author devotes individual chapters to the masting of ships, mastheads, the standing rigging, the running rigging, foot-ropes, the blocks, steering wheels, the ship's galley, pumps, ship ironwork, copper sheathing, the ground tackle, gun ports, boats, and davits. He includes as well invaluable tables and lists of data that offer opportunities to compare vital statistics on rigging, masting, and more.
Charles G. Davis was a well-known naval architect, shipbuilder, master seaman, racing yachtsman, and nautical chronicler. His lifelong love affair with the great ships of the past resulted in several classic works on ships and ship model building. The present volume is one of the latter, an extremely thorough, practical, and readable guide to building ship models in authentic detail and in proper proportion. In all, The Ship Model Builder's Assistant offers a treasury of both descriptive and "how-to" information essential to model builders and highly enlightening for all fascinated by the great sailing ships of America's past.

Gentle, Effective Face Cleanser That Leaves Skin Feeling Fresh
Size: 4.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this face cleanser for a few weeks, and I’m really happy with the results. It’s gentle on my skin but still does a great job removing dirt, oil, and makeup without leaving any residue or dryness. My skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed after every wash. The formula lathers nicely and rinses off easily, which makes the whole cleansing routine feel like a treat. I also appreciate that it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin or cause redness, which some cleansers tend to do. Plus, the subtle scent is pleasant but not overpowering. Overall, this face cleanser strikes a perfect balance between deep cleansing and moisturizing. It’s become a staple in my skincare routine, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable daily cleanser.

Acné saver !!!
Size: 4.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I use this product twice a day. I love how it helps keep my skin clear while also improving the blemishes currently there. Lathers well under water and doesn’t have a sticky after feeling. I think it works great especially with how lightweight is is.

Effective for blemish-prone skin without over drying
Size: 4.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have skin that is both sensitive and oily/blemish prone, and I have found this to be very effective without being irritating or over drying. The consistency is a little syrupy which is very helpful in the shower or when dispensing onto wet hands at the sink. I feel like a lot less ends up wasted. More slippery gels can be harder to apply or even dispense since they have a tendency to well, slip off the hand and down the drain before making it to the skin. A little goes a long way and (in conjunction with a good moisturizer!) it seems to help loosen black heads and sebum plugs better than a lot of other products I have tried. It does take a little more effort to rinse it off thoroughly, but that also means it can work well in lieu of a separate shaving gel, which I appreciate. I like the mild citrusy scent. I smell it while I am using it but it doesn’t linger overly after being rinsed off. I used that generic yellow salicylic acid cleanser for a long time and this is much nicer without being overly pricey. I would say it compares very favorably with other more high end cleansers I have tried in terms of quality and effectiveness, so it is a pretty good value.
