Stuart Coe Posted December 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 28, 2020 Hi everyone, my names Stuart and I just joined up to the forum. I live in perth australia. I don’t do model boats but I do collect maritime memorabilia like ship lights, old maps and anything old. I like buying the vintage memorabilia but what I love most is the history of the item and the story behind it, makes you wonder what was like back in the day and the satisfaction I get from owning a piece of history is pretty cool. Seems like a good site and I look forward to having a good look through it. Cheers Stuart Duanelaker, bruce d, ccoyle and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce d Posted December 28, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 28, 2020 Hello Stuart, welcome to MSW. You will find plenty of people here will empathise with your fondness for memorabilia. Some even share tales of hiding recent finds from the admiral (forum speak for significant other 😉). Glad to have you aboard. mtaylor, JeffT and Ryland Craze 3 Quote 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryland Craze Posted December 28, 2020 Share #4 Posted December 28, 2020 Hi Stuart and welcome to Model Ship World. Glad to have you aboard. There is a lot of history and stories that some builders write about their models in their build log. mtaylor 1 Quote Ryland Member - Hampton Roads Ship Model Society - Ship Model Society of New Jersey - Nautical Research Guild Current Build - Armed Virginia Sloop, 18th Century Longboat Completed Build - Medway Longboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
