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

Thanks to everyone for submitting their models in the competition! Without you all their would not have been a competition for me to compete in.
A special thanks to the four people who voted for my Bounty Launch! It was my second wooden ship model and I really did not expect to win anything.
And finally, but not least, I want to thank John for having us all aboard his ship (the forum).

Here's to next years competition!

Thanks Pete,

It was a plesant suprise to see that my model had won first place again. I really wasn't expecting to win anything. There were a lot of great models in the competition. Everyone is a winner if you ask me.

Don

Congratulations to everyone who entered. I enjoyed looking at everyone of them and wish I could vote for them all.

Hopefully I'll have an entry next year.
