Boat Modeling the Easy Way:
A Scratchbuilder's Guide
Harold H. Payson
Praise for Boat Modeling with Dynamite Payson:
"From the very first paragraph, Harold Payson combines humor and enthusiasm with his obvious knowledge of the subject. Unlike other learned tomes, this one entertains the reader while also being deadly serious about constructing real boats in miniature." Ships in Scale
In the wake of his bestselling Boat Modeling with Dynamite Payson, America's best loved boat building writer launches a whole new fleet of easy-to-build models. Using his own refinement of the easy bread-and-butter method, Dynamite includes plans, patterns, and step-by-step photographs for building models of traditional work and pleasure boats, the kind you'll rarely see from the big kit manufacturers and plans services. There's a classic Gloucester lobster boat, a Maine tug boat, two sardine carriers, a turn-of-the-century day cruiser, a Friendship sloop, a torpedo-stern launch, a Gloucester fishing schooner, and a plank-on-edge English cutter all depicted in action by celebrated marine artist Douglas Alvord. $19.95
In our age of very expensive ship model kits, Dynamite's approach allows the hobbyist ship modeler to model some interesting projects on a shoestring investment, complete a model in a reasonable amount of time, and see the end result sitting on a mantelpiece."

A book to build the beginning modeler's confidence."
