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 Ahoy mates! Very Happy to find this site!
Howdy; My name is Thomas DuBourg AKA Poppa Tom. I have been carving and working on ship models for about 50 years (I started when I was and have many different types of ship and boat models under my belt . I particularly enjoy plank on frame models and I also produce ships in bottles for sale on my web site (PoppaTomsWoodcraft.com) and for my e-bay store PoppaTomsWoodcraft. I have also taught wooden ship and boat construction and I have worked for various museums restoring their boats and in some cases ship models.

Welcome aboard from me too Tom. Nice to have you here and specially for me as we have in common a second hobby. Ships in bottles. Although I have retired from this part you can see my work there http://modelshipworld.com/phpBB2/mo...allery/album269
And we would like to see some of your work.

There is no good or bad modeler. Just more or less experienced.
