A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin

Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild

Now that is a small helicopter ...well done... https://www.interactionhobbies.com/N-Scale-Kit-Jaycopter-Helicopter-Pilot-Training-System_p_44.html

 

I get the distinct impression that the 'hobby business' is growing, most likely due to Covid. And once the new hobbyists are hooked then there is no going back 😉  Hopefully, kit supplies etc can keep up with the growth ... generally a good problem for a manufacturer/retailer to have.

 

It's the same with Amateur Radio.... with folks staying at home they started to look for interesting things to fill their time and it seems the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) has had a large influx of new students (and thereafter licence holders). I imagine it is similar worlwide.

 

Both model building and amateur radio lend themselves to social distancing.

Hi Folks

 

Happy to be aboard. There are some fantastic modelers on this site and lots of detailed information and great models. We are pleased to support Model Ship World and the NRG and look forward to contributing to the preservation of history in miniature. We have a number of highly detailed and unique ship kits in 1:48, 1:87 and 1:160 scale and will be adding more as we go along this venture.

 

Here are some of our current nautical offerings

Hi Darryl and welcome to Model Ship World.  We appreciate the support you have given MSW by becoming a sponsor.  You have many products on your website that will appeal to our members.  It is really amazing the amount of detail that is present in these small scale models.  They will enhance any model railroad layout or the display shelf of a ship modeler who wants to build a small scale model.  We are glad to have you and your company on MSW.
