Inland vessels as a model (PoD)

In model making, inland ships are often overshadowed by ocean-going vessels. Yet this type of ship not only has many exciting types to offer, but also many advantages, especially for beginners in ship modelling, such as the often quite simple hull shape and the possibility of building in detail in larger scales.

In this book, Günther Slansky introduces the various types and uses, in addition to a look at original inland shipping with a focus on the Elbe – of course with a detailed excursus on the paddle steamers of the Dresden fleet. The second part then deals in detail with the model replica of a classic cargo ship, including numerous special functions. Ideal for beginners in ship modelling – not only for inland vessels.
