  1. Allow me to introduce our model ship group to you. We are located in and around Rochester NY. We are a small group that was founded in late 2015. We have members in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Florida, and even one in Lisbon Portugal. We meet monthly and through the Zoom application we have been able to include our more distant members. You can learn more about us by visiting our web site modelshipwrightguildwny.org.

    We have located you through the “Community” drop down function on the Model Ship World forum and are reaching out to you to explore your possible interest and participation in a lively and talented group of modelers from all walks of life.

    Generally, sessions are structured with introductions of visitors, followed by a brief business segment and then we almost always have a central presentation topic or two ending with a show and tell of group models. The sessions usually last two hours.

    So you are invited to visit us (via Zoom) this Fall and see what we are all about. You might find us interesting enough to join us on a more consistent basis. Please PM me back and I will put you on distribution for our Fall schedule when released.

    We will not badger you beyond this outreach if you are not interested.

    Hoping to hear from you.

  3. I realized that I can contact other upper NYS folk on MSW through the “Community” function. Here is an out-reach I am planning to send to about 35 folk as far away as the Albany area. Have any comments or suggestions.?

      Thanks, Joe.  I am interested, lively enough, not so talented, but keep working on it.  I'm on my 4th build, H.M. Granado 1756.  If you saw the results you would know I'm a long way from even moderately proficient  Due to a move from SC to Ithaca, NY (and other stuff) I still haven't finished her, but hope to soon.  I have long wished for a nearby club and look forward to hearing about y'all.

  4. Still limping along with Granado.  I'm about to step the masts.  The manual says to first "temporarily drill and pin the yards in place on the masts".  The yards are then removed until later.  Question:  what is the point of the drilling and pinning since it doesn't seem to relate to the later attachment of the yards?  Can it be safely omitted or will I regret it if I don't do it?

      Thanks.  Unfortunately, I'm more confused.  What holes are you referring to for "pinning them" (what, the yards?) in advance"?  This implies that at some point the yards are pinned to the masts, although the manual doesn't say they are.  ???
