Building Ship Models
from early Popular Mechanics Magazines
reprinted by Lindsay Publications

Here you get a series of heavily illustrated articles that will get you building that Spanish treasure galleon. Knowing you, you'll try to make it full size and put a compound marine steam engine in it. Sounds dumb to me. But go for it. You'll be the meanest pirate this side of the Monongahela river!

You get articles on ship modeler's tools, a series of five articles on building your own model, and instructions on how to read and use ship model drawings. You'll see in detail how to get started and build something in your back bedroom that will actually look like a sailing ship when you're done.

What I usually like to do is take the basic idea and then dream up the most bizarre ship ever designed. You know. Something that looks so strange you'd swear the marine designer was smoking something funny! Make it the pirate ship from hell! Anything you want. After all, you're the designer.

Fun collection of articles from "Make It Yourself" that we offered a number of years ago. If you have that reprint, then you already have these. If not, get a copy. ...if not for you, at least for some kid who needs to be pulled away from cell phones, Facebook, and television.
