I was wondering if anyone on Ships of Scale forums would be interested in joining me or assisting me in writing, preparing Articles and Publications for the MSB (Model Ship Builder) Journal. If you have knowledge and interest in any of these subjects and you would love to share, then I can use some of your thoughts on these subjects. Please email me at donnie@shipsofscale.com
Thanks
Donnie
