manning16 Posted December 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 27, 2022 Hello all.. my name is John..I'm a member of the Naples ,FL shipbuilders club. At age 74, I'm one of the youngest! I've been building ships since 1990. I also live in northern New York, which brings me to my request. I am presently building model Shipways Confederacy. I noticed Trussben 's Confederacy build and that he is in Queensbyry..I would like to contact him as my daughter and family live in Glens Falls. I live in Malone in the summer.. Hopefully he will see this post.We are here in GF, but back to FL Thursday. Thanks in advance.

manning16 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted December 28, 2022 Thanks all..not a big computer user,but I always have some ten year old grandkid to help me.. I've noticed a paucity of scale resin figures for various period ships..usually odd scales..having said that, my nephew has six 3D machines going, producing resin stuff..he is a professional model builder..we had a discussion about creating some ship figures for my confederacy build..I'm in NY today, but going back to FL tomorrow .I will send him some drawings and see how it goes..he says he can make scale figures..

Ryland Craze Posted December 28, 2022 Share #8 Posted December 28, 2022 Hi John and welcome to Model Ship World. I often hear of modelers looking for certain 3D printed figures for their models. A good source of some figures is Vanguard Models, whose owner is a member of this site. I believe there is a good market for 3D scale figures.

Keith Black Posted December 28, 2022 Share #10 Posted December 28, 2022 John, I'd be interested in USS Navy figures from the 1870 to 1880 time period in 1:120 scale. Please PM me if your nephew is interested in taking on said project regarding price etc etc. mtaylor and Dave_E 2 Quote Current Builds: Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
