German Boys Build Scale Model Liners for Sea Cruises
EXPERT marine constructionists, between the ages of 9 and 16 are being developed in one of the most novel trade schools of the world at Potsdam, Germany. Under the tutelage of experienced marine engineers, the youths receive a thorough technical training in building exact replicas of real steamships on a scale of one to twenty.
Grades are given according to the aptitude and intelligence shown in building the model vessels. The plans from which the youth work are the same plans, scaled down, of such ships
as the Normandie and the Queen Mary. At the end of the school year, advanced students build models that can actually go to sea.

ride in models

This blog is about ride in model tug boats and ride in models of all types. I am going to rely on readers sending in information and internet stories for the content of this site. I will also contribute as well. It is to be a general chat room for these types of models. I will now leave the floor open and as I don't know how to set up a forum just post a comment. Remember no sex or racism or bullying as these comments will not be published. Cheers Stewart
