Oh sure!
My name is Jeff and eek! I didn't realize Zarkon was ruler! I promise I won't be overbearing and ruthless! Haha!

Welcome
Good luck with your builds, you will find all the help you need from the team here at MSW.
If you please, let us know a name by which we can address you, if not Zarkon, the ruthless and overbearing ruler of the Galra Empire

Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum and actually, this is my forum I have ever joined! (Welcome to the 21st century right?) Haha!
I've built a few ships on my own, but never had any help nor knew anyone who had experience with ship building so I have been winging it!
After looking through this site, I found a TON of helpful advice and building guides that I'm excited to try out on my next build! After reading some of the guides to planking a hull, I looked back on my models and noticed that I did not give enough attention to it and I could have done a LOT better.
I haven't been able to finish my current ship, the Albatros from Constructo, since my son was born. Now that he's a little past 2 years old, I finally have some time to finish the sails and rigging. Once this is finished, I will be starting the HMS Victory by Constructo and I WILL be using the guides and tips from this site to help with the build. Lastly, I would like to post a build log because I know I will need help and I will have questions!
I look forward to my next build and using the excellent advice from this site!
Thanks!

I think it must have been when this one merged with NRG. It certainly has fewer separate sections than the one I was thinking of and does seem to be the definitive serious ship model forum.
Oh well, everything, it seems, changes, for good or bad or no apparent reason at all!

Well, I know of several ship modeling forums that have met their demise over the years, but ours isn't one of them, though we have survived one major server crash and several software upgrades. I can also assure you that we are quite serious about modeling and welcome all kinds of builds of whatever subject and in whatever medium. Small craft, work boats, inshore vessels -- they're all good.

Thanks for the welcome, Eddie. I may go quiet in the winter as I only do boats in the summer months in the, so far, feeble hope I'll get one afloat! But the truth is, I probably don't actually care if they float or not. In which case I have some very big boats hanging around!

Thanks for the welcome....if that is relevant, as I may have been here before. Has the format changed in the last year or so?
I'm in England David and I am a terrible tub thumper. I just can't do foreign stuff. OK, ships are not so bad as cars and railways and of course, mahogany speedboats are almost unheard of over here, except for imported ones. So it is indeed, to America and especially Canada that I turn for subject matter. But my liking for inshore craft is strictly Edgar March. I always fancied a round the coast collection of indigenous inshore craft in 1/4" scale.
Cheers,
Martin

Welcome! If it floats, someone here is building or has built it. Search YouTube for video on the craft and vessels. Have you done and steam boats? Great Lakes vessels?

Hello, I don't know if I'm a new member or not!
I say that because I can't find the serious model ship building forum I used to belong to and don't recognise this one. The one I used to belong to had sections coveringsmall craft and a lot more than this one does.
Would I be right in assuming this is a renewed version of that previous forum or is this a new one entirely and the old one has disappeared, like so much of a model ship nature on the 'Net.?
My interests are entirely inshore craft, workboats and classic speedboats. I am not remotely interested in Militaria of any kind, so I won't last long here, but techniques are often interesting and informative.
I am currently building a 1/16th scale model of my old Victorian Cutter, "Vanity" and after that will be fitting out an ancient GRP hull my friend gave me which we believe is of the Royal Yacht "Bloodhound".
