About this eBook

For many people interested in model building, replicas of warships are among the absolute highlights. This has to do with the special technology of the prototypes and above all with one thing: the multitude of fine details that have to be built in such models.

Good research and a fine working method are indispensable. In this book, Günther Slansky shows that expensive workshop equipment is not always necessary. Using a German torpedo boat as an example, the "old school" model builder describes how it is possible to build a detailed warship model according to plan using simple tools. Beginners can thus benefit from his enormous wealth of experience and realise their dream of building a model of a warship.
