  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.

  2. Talking about planking, I too am going to be building the Syren in the near future and I was considering using one of the plank bending tools that actually crimps one side of the plank so the it bends. I saw a guy on Youtube use one and it looked pretty easy to use. Does anyone have any comments (positive or negative) about the use of one of these tools?
  3. Sal Great work on your model. I just ordered the Syren kit last week and am waiting (patiently) for it to arrive (it's on back order). I will be following your progress and most likely "stealing" some of your ideas as I go on the long road of turning a box full of wood strips and bits of thread and such into a beautiful rendition of this great old shiip.
