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 Modeling through the eyes of Forrest Gump
After only minor modifications, 'Jenny' the coastal shrimp boat from the 1994 Academy Award winning motion picture is now complete. The base kit is the 1/60 kit from Lindberg only just recently re-released.

To paraphrase Forrest, ship modeling is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. Nice job of building, Herb.
