  1. 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.?

    Allow me to introduce our model ship group located in Rochester NY to you. 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 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 (tune in 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, with your email address or cell, and I will put you on distribution for our Fall schedule.
    We will not badger you beyond this outreach if you are not interested.
    Hoping to hear from you.

      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.

  18. Me again Ryland from upstate NY. Four of us within our group met to discuss how we can invigorate our young group of just 6 years. One obvious element as I guest visit and have joined the NJ group is that by shear number they can always count on someone(s) to be willing to share in show and tell or volunteer for a central topic element. We are only 18 in number and only 50% are ever present at meetings and of that probably 7 are active building for one reason or another. I think both Hampton Roads and the NJ groups do well because of their numbers. To the point I was looking on MSW and went to the "Communities" sub page and then dialed in western NY and found about 30 or so MSW members from Buffalo to Syracuse. We would like to contact them to see if they would like to visit and possibly join in with us. Is there a way to identify them (as not all names show up where I move my cursor to their active icon) and PM them?

    Joe

  19. Tim I hope you can enlighten me on the following. If not who can? I have it in my mind to sign up for the NE event in October however I have been informed that I must have a surgical procedure that may put me in recovery just before the  October event. The problem is a backlog of non emergency procedures at our hospitals. If I collide with the event timing what is the policy on refunds please?

    Joe 

  20. Ron I am the facilitator of the Model Shipwright Guild of Western NY. We reside in and around Rochester although we have members in Portugal, Buffalo, Syracuse and Florida. We have been holding Zoom meetings since the pandemic prevented us from meeting in person and we plan to do so when we return to the sessions in September. I have been intrigued with your model and your inventiveness with tools. Not all of our members have elaborate setups. So I was wondering if you would be interested in talking about your model (which happens to be part of our web page logo) and sharing some of your tool adaptations with our group sometime this fall via Zoom?

     

    Our web page is www,http/modelshipwrightguildwny.org

  22. Great work Rusty! As I look over your shoulder at the gun port detail it looks like you have foregone the red paint detail around the ports and have have done what???

    Joe

    1. Rustyj

      Rustyj

      You mean  this red paint on the ports? :) It doesn't show much in the pictures once planked.

       

      I used Admiralty Paints Red Ochre.

       

      How's it going with you?

      Hello there: The Winchelsea is stalled as I am remodeling an area on the first floor for my wife's art workings. Cabinets are in, template made for the desk top and I pickup the doors and drawer fronts today. I have yet to make the boxes for the 7 drawers. But all is not lost, Cheerful has grown on me once again. I started her up while I was gluing in Winne frames. I am actually working on deck furniture and planking as we speak. Bill and I are also working the PBR so that leaves me little time at the moment.

       

      The other reason I haven't plunged into her is what you said to me sometime back. This modeling takes practice! I have learned so much with Cheerful that I want to get a bit farther with her before I jump into Winne. In doing Cheerful I see now where I could have done a better and those lessons and lessons to come will be applied to the big guy. On top of all that I had to have a hernia operation last week so I am a bit sluggish with all the above. The doctor opened me up pretty good and I am still walking around with about 11 staples to be removed next week!

       

      Joe

    3. Rustyj

      Rustyj

      Ah there always is so much to do. Making the area for your wife though time consuming is rewarding. 
      Nothing wrong with working on two at a time. I’ve switched back and forth on numerous occasions. 
      Yes the dreaded hernia surgery. Was there a couple of years ago. Hope you heal up soon. 
       

      Take care Rusty 

  23. Hello Ron!

    I too am a member of Model Shipwrights of Western NY. Sam and I have been conversing about you over the holidays and I indicated that I would also try to reach out to you. His last reminder prompted this note. I am on MSW under the "handle" of Thistle17. I have always loved that day - sailer/racer almost had an opportunity to restore an original wooden one but didn't act fast enough on her. I now look back and muse "What was I thinking?"! I was then diverted from restoring a 17' Chris Craft Sportsman that I stumbled on at Cape Cod. Again I was pulled away from a head long plunge and lots of $$$$$ by one who knows better than me. Any ways I am now relegated to the work bench building models. Its safer and less expensive.

     

    I am working on the Syren Cheerful and Winchelsea. I too have a MS model of Niagara sitting on the shelf waiting for ts turn. I might mention that one of our members has many pictures of her as he too has built this model. I think I can reach out to him to see if they are captured electronically.

     

    In the mean time we invite you to join us this season when we resume formal gathering starting in March. If you give me your e-mail address I can copy you on minutes and agendas. Also do visit our web site for past endeavors modelshipwrightguildwny.org.

    Joe

      Joe

      Thanks for the note. I look forward to meeting and discussing the art of model building. I started building a few years ago when I retired and found I actually I had time to do something other than work. The Niagara is my third project, the last was the Baltimore, which took me over two years to complete.

      My e-mail address is ronkamin@gmail.com.

      Ron I am pulling together the March agenda so it should be out in the next week. I will add you to distribution.

  24. Jim there just isn't a substitute for the Byrnes saw. I sold my Preac on Craigs and that helped defray the expense.
