MikeE Posted April 1, 2020 #1 Posted April 1, 2020 Can anyone direct me on the use of this site? I have been building model ships for quite a few years and am looking for build logs with pictures on a variety of ships that I am building. I was hoping to get some new pointers and insight. I am currently building Corel's Wappen Von Hamburg, Mantua's Sovereign of the seas, Corel's Victory, Constructo's Victory, Corel's Wasa. I have built the hulls of these ships and am ready for the next step. Looking for any info on any of these ships. Duanelaker, EricWilliamMarshall and GrandpaPhil 3
Louie da fly Posted April 1, 2020 #2 Posted April 1, 2020 Hi Mike. There's a search function at the top right of this page. Type in the name of the ship, and perhaps the brand of kit, and it should give you a choice of build logs to look at, if anyone's previously made the model. If you go to the Home page, there's also a subsection called Ships Plans and project Research where you can put up questions about your specific ships - and also perhaps find information already posted about them - though the Search function would probably also find those. Good luck with it. Steven mtaylor 1 It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Jim Lad Posted April 1, 2020 #4 Posted April 1, 2020 Hello Mike, and a warm welcome to the forum. If you don't find the information you're looking for when searching build logs of other models, then ask the question. Plenty of friendly help to be had here. John
