Mashuno Posted Saturday at 05:15 PM #1 Posted Saturday at 05:15 PM Hello all! I've been lurking on the site for a while and decided its finally time to make an introduction. I'm an engineering student from the UK who, over the past year, has gotten really into sailing ships, their design and function, and really the whole age of sail. This website has been phenomenal for learning about all sorts of things about ships, and really greatful to all those that make Model Ship World a possibility I'm a bit of a strange case in that I don't actually own a model ship, or plan to for the foreseeable future; its a big time and cost commitment, and requires a lot of tools too. Whilst it would be nice to start one day, I hope you'll accept me into your wonderful forum simply as an observer and allow me to continue marvelling over everyone's incredible builds! Mashuno.

shipman Posted Saturday at 08:11 PM #4 Posted Saturday at 08:11 PM It takes all sorts. I've been aboard for some years without presenting a model, yet still get involved on a daily basis. I simply like to admire ships and ship models. I see you're from the UK. I remember when that was largely true. Keith Black, AJohnson, bruce d and 1 other 3 1

ccoyle Posted yesterday at 12:05 AM #10 Posted yesterday at 12:05 AM Welcome aboard! At the risk of ruining any future good name you might have acquired among this august company, might I suggest you take a look at card models? They do not require lots of time, space, tools, or capital outlay (a big plus for starving students). You can check some out by clicking here. Cheers!

Mashuno Posted yesterday at 07:32 AM Author #11 Posted yesterday at 07:32 AM Thank you all for the very warm welcome! Chris, I have actually experimented a bit with card, though my attempts are a bit scruffy. I would love to get into it in a more formal manner, so I'll definitely check them out!
