ccozewith Posted January 28 Share #1 Posted January 28 I am a long time reader of MSW posts, but now have joined the group. I've been ship modeling for about 45 years and have launched many scratch builds from my bench top ship yard ranging from a Roman merchantman, circa year 0, to an American sloop of war, circa 1830. At age 85 I am no longer modeling large 3-masters but am staying busy building small sloops and schooners that can be completed more quickly. Recent builds include the pinkie Dove from the plans in Chapelle's "American Fishing Schooners" and under construction is the pilot boat Achilles from his plans in "Search for Speed Under Sail". chris watton, Keith Black, Ian_Grant and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
