Nice blog site. First one I have seen that I like. Been doing ship models since 1948 and have done some for a museum down south. Steamboat New Orleans, Power train for same, Liberty Ship (R), diorama of a local shipyard in 1918 with Ferris Wooden ship on the ways and one partially built. My Uncle Joseph Schrieber had some Popular Science plans that I inherited and still have, Santa Maria, a brigantine and a few others. Found some of the articles on the net, but they are difficult to copy due to attached trash. I am currently working on a large scale model of the ironclad CSS Texas, which was started off scale by a person who is deceased. it is a challenge converting everything to the as built scale. Just finished turning down the 6 guns and will soon be making the carriages. Always fun!
