Have already enjoyed this group, I have ordered my first wooden ship model, Model Shipways Armed Virginia Sloop, due to arrive in a few days so just doing some research. I am retired so I should have some time, thanks for the add.

You may want to contact our member @Bluebeard ,he works at Model-ExpoWell it’s almost mid-March and still have not received my Armed Virginia Sloop, a bit concerned and now I read they are are moving so even more concerned. I ordered it after Christmas because of the great sale they were having, called them once and they say still up to 20 days. So have not started my build. Just thought I would update the group.
