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

Default Ship modeling for dummies
This is mainly for newbies like myself. There is a great website (Wooden Shipmodeling for Dummies) at www.shipmodeling.ca/aaplandusite.html  with lots of tips & videos for planking, seizing, etc. that I have found to be of help. Click on "Summary for Visitors".

Hi Dennis,

Thank you very much for your kind comments.

If my site can help the modelers my goal will be reached. I have still many projects in files, but days have only 24 hours.

See you soon,
Surcouf

Surcouf,

Good to see your still kicking. Haven't seen you post in a long time!

Ditto on Spankydude1's post. It was a tremendous help to me when I first got started and still is today.
