Comparative Costs
Practically speaking, all ship models can be grouped into three classes; first, the showcase,
or decorative variety, that are never put into water; secondly, all types of sailing models for use on ponds or the sea-coast; thirdly, all types of power-driven craft, using clockwork, steam or electricity as motive power.
Methods of Construction
There are several distinctly different methods of building any of the ship models mentioned above. Those most suited to amateur construction are the solid block,
the laminated
and the rib and plank
or built
systems.
The solid block method is generally used for decorative and show models and for working models about 30 in. or less in length.
Rib- and plank-built hulls of 36 in. or greater length are very desirable for high-class racing models; and a modification of the system known as built
is one of the best for the smaller power-driven models.
Representative examples of each are progressively dealt with in the following pages.
Methods applicable to any Model
It should be noted that various phases of model boat building are common to any type of boat; hence in this chapter such methods are detailed when they first arise, and only mentioned briefly in later models.

of the hull and the proportions of its parts.
