tomsimon Posted October 18, 2020 #1 Posted October 18, 2020 An excellent read for a beginner Modeler or a professional needing to get back to the basics. Ship Modeling from Stem to Stern is the Modeler’s compass, a K-12 education in ship modeling and a career counselor. Most importantly, thank you, Mr. Roth, for introducing me to Lusci, the great! flying_dutchman2, MEDDO, JpR62 and 4 others 7 Quote
catopower Posted October 20, 2020 #2 Posted October 20, 2020 This was the first ship modeling book I'd ever owned. Though it's not perfect, I learned a lot from it and got tons of inspiration from looking at the photos of shipmodels in the book. I never met Mr. Roth, but his wife Lois had maintained his ship model mail order shop, The Dromedary, for many year and I called them often. I have to admit to having a small crush on Rose, who worked for the shop... 😊 Clare mtaylor, Gregory and Ryland Craze 3 Quote Clare Hess He's a -> "HE" Current Builds HMS Wolf, 1754 - Shipyard Laser Cut Kit Kitamaebune - Japanese Coastal Trade Ship, 18th/19th Centuries - Woody Joe Kit Atakebune - Japanese Sengoku Period Warship - Woody Joe Kit

I came across it in the library before I built my first wood model, and I found the Vanguard on the cover to be mesmerizing. It is the kind of book that can get young people hooked.. Just try getting them hooked with Steel as a first book..😁 mtaylor, catopower, MEDDO and 2 others 5 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon
uss frolick Posted October 21, 2020 #4 Posted October 21, 2020 Bill Romero told our club a long time ago that the author did not obtain permission to reproduce many of the plans shown in his book, and got sued by multiple persons soon after publication. Sad. Pays to be careful ... mtaylor and Gregory 2 Quote
