Are you a member of the SW Florida Ship Model Club? Great bunch of guys. . I wish I could attend the meetings on a regular basis, but so far it has not worked out. Hopefully I will get there more often in 2025 and meet the guys again, and hopefully you as well.

Finally found 3 pictures of ships I have made -- from scratch, that is no plans or drawings.
This one I call the Lucy L after my granddaughter
The next ship is my Schooner I call The Daphney again after my second granddaughter.
I am starting another build of the Flying Fish. Got plans at 1/8'=1' for a ship that is 25" long and doubling them for final ship that is 51" in length with a Beam of about a foot and a depth of about 10".
If your all interested I will keep a Journal as soon as I learn how to use it.
I am a retired Mechanical Engineer with a very understanding wife. We have been in Florida 16 years fron California and Wisconsin.
Thank-you for the welcome.

Hello Dave,
Very nice work on your scratch builds. I would be very interested to see a build thread of your Flying Fish. I am very interested in clippers and am planning to do a scratch build of a clipper also.

Being new at this, what is meant by "thread"???
Build log or build thread. I’m not sure why they are called threads. Could be a computer programing term. I belong to a bunch of forums and they all use both terms.

so when i start the build i record what i'm doing with pictures every day or so. Can be done!
