Welcome to MSW, Marco. We do have card modelers here... quite a few doing both ships and and non-ship models.

Not enough wow's in the world to express how great that looks. -
Billing boats bluenose ll late father's model
mtaylor replied to Simon29's topic in New member Introductions
Simon, welcome to MSW. Sorry I can't help, but perhaps go to the Billings website and contact them. -
Alternately, if you wander about the scratch area, you'll see that most just make their own building slip. I originally had one of the Billings but it was really more trouble than it was worth limited in size so making a slip is simple and very satisfying once you sort out what's good and what's not needed.

Welcome to MSW, Viriato. As the others have pointed out, please use a translator such as Google Translate. MSW is an English language site. When you're ready, do feel free to open a build log in the Scratch area for your model.

Beautiful model, Maciek. I hope you'll do a build log for next one.

I remember that also now that you mention it. One of the guys in my school did manage to get to the big ceremony and judging and won a scholarship. Not the big prize but big enough. -

Al this Indy talk brought back some memories of sitting in the back yard listening to the race on the radio (no live tv coverage... had to wait up Wide World of Sports showed the excerpts). My science teacher in school was a Miss Meyer. Her dad was THE Meyer of Meyer-Drake/Offenhauser and she got him to give a presentation at the high school. -

Heic is basically an orphan format that Microsoft came up with but it never caught on with website developers or anyone else for the most part. -
Welcome to MSW, Cristian. Basically, start "small"... no masts or at most one. Get a good kit (not a rip off with while usuallly have bigger issues than complexity such as "fit" and "finish". Also, look for a copy of zu Mondfeld's Historic Ship Models. While there are some errors in it, it is a good reference to period ships, how they were built, fitted out, and rigged. It's a pretty much general purpose book and specific to any particular vessel.

Welcome back home, Andre. Real life does get in the way at times.

MSW is extremely slow
mtaylor replied to Keith_W's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
There were a lot of internet slowness here in Oregon on Saturday. Later that day, things got back to "normal". I got mixed answers from my ISP tech support so who knows what happened.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
