Hello everyone, Like many members, in my childhood I built plastic models and then boats from plans. As a former fitter, I like precision and arsenal modeling has been tempting me for a long time. Now that I have time, I will start building the Commerce de Marseille at 1/72. Lots of work and fun ahead!
It is with pleasure that I read this forum with its model constructions, for some of the masterpieces.

Welcome Block, good to have members from all around the world here.

We get to see what each and every part of the world is doing with this grand art of model ship building.

It may be designed different in different parts of the world, but the work is all very similar and interesting to all.
