Hello modelers,
My name is Werner Weiß, I´m 64 years old and a retired navy officer. I have been building ship models since I was a child and began with plastic models, then card models, and actually I am building my first historic wooden ship, the USF Confederacy. So I m not a beginner, and I look forward to many suggestions from other build logs and maybe to answering questions.
A build log/picture gallery of the Confederacy will be started soon

Werner, welcome aboard.

I am also a card modeler. We would like to see photos of your models
 
Hello Jim, thank you for your welcome and your interest in my card models!

I built the models a long time ago, so meanwhile they are about 30 years old.....

The models show the WW II battleship Bismarck, the WW II cruiser Blücher, the former frigate Braunschweig of the german navy and the former passenger ship Bremen.
