In the text, I give that same dimension then (in parenthesis) the dimension for a 1-1\/2 inches-to-the-foot model. Because many of these are such improbably accurate dimensions as 17\/64, you'll probably find it easier to use an architects's scale rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor instance, I mentioned using a 1\/4- by 1\/4-inch stick for this skiff's stem. We get his measurement from the plans, where the stem measures 1-3\/4 inches by 1-7\/8 inches on the full-size boat, by using an architect's scale rule on its 1-1\/2 inches equals 1 foot scale. Like a computer, the architect's rule automatically converts \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e inches to \u003ci\u003escale\u003c\/i\u003e inches (as long as you remember to use the correct scale), with absolutely no mental gynastics on your part. This makes it easy to build a model to any scale from any plans for which dimensions are given. Just roll the rule over to another scale, and build away. It's all really quite simple; just thinkng about it will keep you from nodding off in your chair, and may even help ward off early senility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eIf you should follow the book to its conclusion, building each model as it is discussed, by the end you will have a foundation in many of the techniques used by the pros. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e--Peter Spectre, in WB #95\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"WoodenBoat Publications Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16904426881114,"sku":"325-155","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/4098\/7482\/products\/BoatModeling.jpg?v=1565283543","url":"https:\/\/www.woodenboatstore.sbs\/products\/boat-modeling-dynamite-payson","provider":"The WoodenBoat Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
