1.0 out of 5 stars Why use "Ship Model Building", February 1, 2000
By David Fisher "Dave Fisher" (Owings Mills, Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is hopelessly out of date. For a model builder with even a little experience it purchase would be a waste of time and money. For example: It suggests that fitting such as winches and deck houses be made made of balsa wood. No current modeler would agree. Construction examples almost insure that you will be making a toy instead of a scale model. It's only redeeming feature is that there are a number of good line drawings that provide nomenclature and positioning. Unfortunately the 1961 reprint did nothing to update the book except for the addition of new plans which are too reduced in size to be of much use and are readily available elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Beginners' Material, January 5, 2001
By Todd Roe (Worcester, Ma) - See all my reviews
This book is definitely written with the beginner in mind as it is full of great tips and suggestions for the amateur. Although the plates in this book are crudely drawn and the provided plans are too small to be of any great use, I would suggest this book for anyone interested in starting out in the wooden ship modeling hobby.
