Site last update November 11, 2017
Please follow Navy Board Models and scroll down and to the bottom right to a list of all the models in the Ships of Scale Forums.
I have moved this link over to Navy Board Models as the list is changing quite frequently due to the forum image restoration problem on the forums. The list is updated more
regularly by AEW (Arthur).

About This Site |
 |
I created this website in hopes that it would be an asset to other modelers like myself.
When I started building my first wooden ship back many years ago, I did not have the guidance, nor
anyone to turn for help. The model was going to take a lot of patience and time to complete. Back then,
I was anxious to get it built not knowing that building ships can be a process of time, dedication, patience,
endurance.
Building ship models, especially the wooden kind, is an art, and requires learning a new talent and even a new language
of the ships parts and components. The manuals, instruction, and plans are all written expecting the ship modeler to
already have some foundation knowledge of nautical terms.
Again, be patient and willing to stay with your ship and complete it. The next one you build will bring even more satisfaction.
Yes, there will be mistakes and problems along the way, but this is all part of being an artisan.
I put this site together for you, the new Ship Modeler to learn. This site will grow and develop as I add new content.
By the way, I want to hear from you. Send me your photos of your ships so that I can post them on the new Contributors Gallery.
