In ship model building, (almost) nothing is impossible. Nearly everything that has ever navigated the waters can be recreated as a model - sometimes requiring more effort. Günther Slansky is a model builder who is particularly excited by this diversity of the hobby. Over his more than fifty-year career in model building, he has recreated everything that appealed to him, from submarines to pontoons and from tugboats to large sailing ships. In this book, he invites you to participate in the construction of these models and provides tips on how to overcome special challenges for each individual model. Alongside this, the book also serves as a kaleidoscope of the diversity and history of ship model building - showcasing its changes and developments over time. Contents include: Sailing ship Wilhelm Pieck, harbor tug Langenort, buoy layer Dornbusch, sea mark control boat Golwitz, bucket chain.
