In a clear and simple text and with excellent photographs, plans, and drawings, Harvey Weiss shows how to make tugboats, sail- boats, submarines, a Mississippi River stern-wheeler, powerboats, and more. Some can be sailed in your bathtub or in a nearby pond or lake; others can be supported on stands and admired for their smooth and graceful good looks. The instructions are precise but flexible. Harvey Weiss describes al- ternative ways of making the various models, so that you will always end up with one that is your own individual creation. Even you are a beginner, if if you keep in mind certain principles about floating shapes, you can modify the superstructure of any model in the book, to take advantage of tools and materials already on hand or to suit your own ideas of what a ship should be. Mr. Weiss has been building model ships for many years, and he writes of them with authority, affection, and great respect for the inventiveness of the beginning craftsman.
