About this title

Synopsis

A complete guide to crafting miniature model boats in wood using simple, accessible materials and methods. 

Creating a wooden hull from straight pieces of lumber is an artform in itself. Professional model maker Steve Rogers keeps this art alive in miniature by creating stunning, true-to-life replicas.

The book includes:

• Detailed descriptions of the techniques involved in model boat building
• Step-by-step color photos, drawings, and captions to guide readers through the whole process from start to finish
• Tips on sourcing materials and tools (most can be found at hobby shops, lumber yards, or your local hardware store)

Steve passes his years of experience on to the reader in a way that allows even the novice model builder to complete a fine model—a simple, yet elegant skiff—incorporating many of the original construction techniques.
