Pete P Posted April 21, 2023 #1 Posted April 21, 2023 My dad was an avid model ship builder and wood carver in general. What he most enjoyed was building up the hulls so when he passed, there were a few models in his shop that needed completion. I took the Benjamin Latham and Charles W. Morgan which, now that I'm a retired engineer, hope to finish. While going through the drawings, I noticed that there are a lot of items that are quite vague, so I went online to research how best to finish them. That's how I came across Model Ship World. What an incredible resource! Thank you for admitting me; a lot of my questions have already been answered and, while I haven't started, my confidence is already orders of magnitude higher than it was just a few days ago. Best regards, Pete P Ryland Craze, von_bednar, ccoyle and 3 others 6
