Chuck Seiler got a reaction from Ryland Craze in Modelers Sawmill Permanent Closure
I just saw this (no pun intended). I echo others here by saying this is sad news and you will be greatly missed. I pray whatever physical issues that caused this are not too debilitating. Stay well.

Hello guys & gals,
I just want to let everyone know that I had to shut down the shop due to ongoing physical issues. I just want to thanks all the wonderful people I met and everyone who made a purchase and supported Modelers Sawmill. I'm leaving my email up until I have the last few orders out for delivery then I will shut down that as well.
Thanks again,
Joe Volpe

Steve,
You may have to name your endeavors "Steve's Spit and Polish Restorations".
I am a little late to the discussion and was going to mention Rob Napier's thoughts on the use of saliva, but Keith beat me. Rob is a well known/well respected restorer who has written about it. Don Dressel can probably tell you more about him, if you have an hour or 3. Have you spoken to Jon Sanford about model cleaning?

One should never use tap water, Steve. Lightly moisten the Q-Tip in your mouth and then gently swab. Ole fashioned spit is the best cleaner but it's slow going. One can only work up so much spit in a sitting.

Mainmast tackle are done.
Tackle (runner) pendents...
Tackles rigged...
And now the mainmast is pretty well in line. I can fine tune with the shrouds...
Thanks for looking!

Chuck Seiler got a reaction from Taken Aback in Chris Watton and Vanguard Models news and updates Volume 2
When I first seriously got into wooden ship modeling about 30 years ago, our club was mostly 60, 70 and 80 year olds. They were lamenting that there were very few young people in the hobby and it was dying out. Now, at 71, I sit back and smile. The young folks who were NOT into the hobby back then are the old folks that ARE in the hobby now. In addition, our club has several 20/30-somethings, many 40-somethings and a few pre-teens.
The hobby is thriving and with the plethora of resources/kit makers we will be around for a long time. ...Well, at least the hobby.

I do. Every time.
Sailing warships carried such large and prominent flags that they form a key aspect of the overall appearance. So getting the vexillology wrong is a quick way to ruin an otherwise-excellent model.

I'm in my 30's with my first child born this year, so I'm probably the outlier in both groups. I occasionally visit reddit's ship modeling sub forum, and there are plenty of younger people into ship models. Remember though that even a cheap $100- $200 kit can be a large investment for young people in an ever increasingly expensive world, then you have to account that the factors of space and time to build the model are also things that most younger people don't have until they get a little older. Plastic scale modeling is bigger than ever, so don't think that younger people aren't into scale modelling anymore, wooden ship modelling just requires a lot more resources that younger people don't have yet.
