Fascination of Model Shipbuilding (PoD)

In model shipbuilding, (almost) nothing is impossible. Almost everything that has ever sailed the waters can also be built as a model - sometimes only with greater effort. Günther Slansky is a model builder who is particularly enthusiastic about the diversity of the hobby. In his more than fifty-year modelling career, he has built everything he liked, from submarines to pontoons and from tugs to tall ships. In this book, he lets you participate in the building of these models and gives tips on how to master special challenges for each individual model. At the same time, the book is also a kaleidoscope of the diversity and history of model shipbuilding - its changes and developments over time.
