Reader Reviews
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
