Close enough folks. The plain paper one is a very simple, c30 pieces of bond paper, rather stylised, generic war emergency ship, the model design dates from late childhood. 'fraid no Weapon class though.
I'm inclined to doubt that I'll be coughing up USD385 for a copy of March. Last edited by maurice; 09-04-2008 at 07:18 AM. |

Why do I get the feeling that as far as Don's books go, this probably doesn't rate near the top of the value chart? :p

Not only have I seen it, it was the plan I used to design the model. It was published in "Model Boats" in the very early '60's. (I've me reservations bowt that source of thine. ) Last edited by maurice; 09-04-2008 at 07:53 AM. |

Thanks for the clarification on the identity of the white paper ship, Maurice!
Those little plans in Model Boats were a great source of pleasure to me back in the 1950s and 1960s. I do not have a complete collection of those magazines, but I have a couple of years worth and I am glad to have them around. I bought my copy of the March book for $25.00 in 1968. It has a piece of bond paper tucked in behind the dust jacket with an outline of a little hand inside the outline of a bigger hand. The outlines are labeled "Donald" and "Daddy" and at the bottom, it says, "Augusta, Georgia 9 September 1968." That piece of paper is worth more to me than the book -- "Donald" (Don Boose III) who is a member of this Forum, celebrates his 43d birthday this Saturday. Don |
