Extract from back cover of book:
Many old workboats still exist today, though in this age of fibreglass they are an endangered species. To many, the skill and craftsmanship of the builders who made them will never be forgotten. There is a talent that borders on art in creating a wooden hull from straight pieces of lumber.
Steve Rogers keeps the art alive in minature, with his beautiful models of these old wood boats. Through his work he demonstrates an appreciation for the design and construction of these boats, plus a gentle nostalgia for the times that they represent. In Model Boat Building Made Simple, Steve shares his techniques with the reader.
A professional artist, Steve uses drawings and step-by-step colour photographs and captions to make the process easily understood and followed.
