LSS Mini-Practicums

The Lauck Street Shipyard also provides mini-practicums which are separate from our College of Model Shipbuilding™ courses and standard practicums. These cover specific subjects rather than the construction of a particular model but are much shorter in content and subject matter. Like our courses, these mini-practicums are still extremely detailed and include hundreds of color photos as well as step by step instructions to help explain the topic covered. However, they only contain one or two chapters. The following mini-practicums are available:

Planking Model Ships
