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 for the kind words Ben,
Been wandering where you've been. Nice to have you back. Kip has been asking about you at SMW forum also. How's the Sultana coming?

Right now it's not coming. Put on the back burner. I'm travelling a lot for work (currently in a very hot Vegas for the week). And we're also getting ready to sell the condo and move to a bigger place. We found out a few weeks ago that we have a new addition to the family coming (our first) so we're looking for a house with a yard. So for now Sultana's going to have to wait.
I hadn't even had time in the last few weeks to follow along with my favorite forum threads, so I've been really jonesin' for a modeling fix.

I don't know if they're specific to US slang or not, but they're associated with addictions (often drugs).
To jones is to crave something, and a fix is what satisfies your addiction craving. Surprisingly, both are in Miriam Webster...www.m-w.com

Dennis,
I have finally gotten around to reading this forum thread.
I thought you you said you were going to build a POB and you are!
It is looking mighty fine.
I always look at that ship in the catalogue and think about buying one.
How do you feel about POB's now? Will you go back to solid hulls?

Keep up the good work.

Saturn V
