Hello Guest! There's a lot to look over, so sit back with a cup of coffee, relax and browse around. We have a great group of ship and boat modelers here, both newbies and old salts, from all over the world. Our goal here is to help each other, without criticism or rebuke. Both newbies and old salts alike can learn from each other. No one has all the answers. Our most basic rule is simple, respect for your fellow members and their opinions. And don't take yourself too seriously! wirewolf (John, AKA - Cap), Forum Administrator "I only found this forum a month ago and already it has been a lot of help.

Various stages for all four. Don't do things half way.

Current Modeling Project Description:
I've been modeling on and off for 55 years. Started the Bluenose to get some experience with plank-on-frame construction. The model came out OK, even considering the mistakes I made. Still working on masts and rigging. Now working on Victory, Victory and Half Moon from Corel. In the hull planking stages for Victory and Half Moon. Victory cross section is still on interior structures.
