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 Hi from Australia
This is my first time to join a forum and not sure what to do but I hope to learn quickly.
Just hoping to learn all about building boats from the members here so that I will make less mistakes.

Welcome aboard. Feel free to ask any questions, and don't hesitate to join the discussions.
Fear not the rigging! That's the best part!!

Model building can be good for "the nerves" unless you push too hard and get frustrated; Then it will give you "night mares"!!

Just take it slow and easy, and enjoy.

Welcome aboard Barry.
Fear not mistakes.
The best thing about building with wood is that you can fix them.
