Excellent Resource

I own several other great books on ship modelling:Ship Modeling Simplified by Frank Mastini, The Built-Up Ship Model by Charles G. Davis,Ship Modeling from Stem to Stern by Milton Roth,and Historic Ship Models by Wolfram Zu Mondfeld, as well as other less comprehensive books.I have studied all of these books at length and found Dressel's text to be the most informative on not only planking but also framing techniques.While others who have reviewed this book seem to have gripes about it, I would challenge anyone to find a more detailed book on this discipline. The fact is that no one text exists that will provide all of the best tips and techniques, but this book gives the most detail that I have come across. I consider it a must-have for any model shipbuilder's library.
