Like your other practice books, "Dynamite" Pason apply your building technics in the small models and bring to modeler wonderful results. The technics are very simple, the projects are fast and playable, and the sequence of pictures of the projects, excelent. I recommend this book for the begginer modeler and for the people who likes nautical models. The results are very beautiful.

Well-known author/boatbuilder, Dynamite Payson applies his ``instant approach'' to building replicas of small rowing and sailing craft. He starts with a simple lobsterboat that anyone can build in an hour and progresses through dories, skiffs, catboats, peapods, a sloop and a sardine carrier. Dynamite's friendly, no-nonsense instructions and step-by-step photos guide the reader easily through each boat's construction.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Ship Modeling from Stem to Stern Review

I feel Dr. Roth has accomplished the majority of his objectives for this book. It's inspiring text, through discriptions, techniques and list of resources make it a must have for the beginner/intermediate level modeler in this age old art. The section titled "dandy funk" was quite helpfull in teaching the neophyte some "tricks" in making tools and gadgets. However, it falls short of the mark in the more advanced areas of model ship building such as plans development and scratchbuilding. Additionally, I would of liked to see a few more color photographs, as I would of been glad to pay the additional cost of color pictures in the book for a little inspiration. Lt Kevin Moravek
