Forgive me if I'm entering this is the wrong place, but I am a bit confused. I just found and signed up yesterday while I was searching for how to make chainplates for the Armed Virginia Sloop Model Shipways# 2160. It is my second model following the "Phantom".  At any rate, this looks like a good source of information but I really need some help with regard to how to navigate the entire source. Cheers!

Welcome!

Thanks. Here's an example of what I'm looking for just now.  I'm looking for help building the chainplates for my AVS. Funny, I found a photo earlier, but I can't find it again. How do I navigate the site for specific help.

Hi Bob and welcome to Model Ship World.  If you get a chance, please post some pictures of you Phantom and your in progress AVS.  Here is a list of all of the build logs tagged "Armed Virginia Sloop".

Hi Bob, A warm welcome to Model Ship World.  I remember when I first joined MSW I was frequently lost and eventually found my way around the site.  

 

If you are looking for help on your Armed Virginia Sloop, I would start by looking in the Member's build logs section.  The logs have a separate section of kit built and scratch built models.  Both sections are organized by launch date of the ship.  I would first look in the kit built section for ships launched between 1750 and 1800 (AVS was launched in 1768 if I remember correctly).  Once you are in the correct launch date section go to the search engine in the upper right corner of the screen and do a search for Armed Virginia Sloop.  You will then find a listing for all build logs in that section for the Armed Virginia Sloop or any log that mentions the AVS.  

 

Alternatively, you can search the entire MSW site for Armed Virginia Sloop.  That should give you some references to help answer your question.  You may also find some information the Shop Notes-Modeling Tips section of MSW.

 

There is a lot of information here as well as some very knowledgeable and friendly ship modelers.

 

Welcome Aboard!  Enjoy!
