Bossman Posted January 1, 2020 #1 Posted January 1, 2020 A happy New Years to all. Thanks to one of your fellow modelers I have reopened the shipyard after many years. I was a member of Model Shipwrights and this previous site many years ago. Currently working on the Confederacy from Model Shipways. The talent I have seen on the current build logs is inspiring and daunting at the same time! I retired 2 years ago so now have the time to indulge in my hobbies of leatherwork, woodwork, 1/32 scale WWI aircraft and now sailing ships. That is when I am not taking care of horses and fishing. How did I ever find time for making a living. My past ship builds are the Royal Louis and Royal Caroline. I have forgotten the makers of these two kits. Also a scratch built Gunboat Philadelphia. Im looking forward to learning from this group and participating. All the best, Mark “Bossman” Haliburton, mtaylor, MEDDO and 5 others 8 Current build: Model Shipways “Confederacy “ Completed builds: Mamoli “Royal Louis“ Mantua “Royal Caroline” Scratch 1/4 scale gondola “Philadelphia” Scratch “Hannah” from Hahn plans.
