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

Since this was my first try at building a ship and doing it from scratch, I am happy with the outcome. I sure learned a lot. My next project is going to be the Rattlesnake, this one is a kit.

I suggest the Model Shipways kit. It has much better plans than the Mamoli kit, although the fittings are the same. I also suggest making your own carvings since the cast fittings are clumsy in both kits. Harold Hahn wrote an article about the Rattlesnake for the Nautical Research Journal in the mid 90's. Worth reading if you can find a copy.
