warship Posted January 17, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2014 Hi, Does any one have recommendation place for buying wood ship model on Internet? I found one "victoryshipmodels.com" and looks ok for me, I'm wondering if someone can share your experience shopping with them? Thank you.

warship Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted January 17, 2014 Hi, Thanks for your reply. Actually, I'm in Taiwan, it is hard to get these wooden models except from Internet. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Fodder Posted January 17, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 17, 2014 How about for Seattle, WA, USA? The local hobby shop had nothing I was interested in building. Quote Build in progress: Emma C.

mtaylor Posted January 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 17, 2014 Hmm... ModelExpo and Bluejacket come to mind. Those you'd have to order but they are US companies. Maybe one of the group from up there could point you to a local hobby shop with a selection?

Kerry Posted January 18, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 18, 2014 Hi Tony if you click on the "Model Ship World Main Site & Article" Banner at the top of this page you will find a number of ads many supply kits to every skill level - if they advertise here you can also expect they have been checked out a number of times and not only will the prices be ok the service will be of a great standard Cheers Kerry.

ortho85 Posted January 18, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 18, 2014 Hi Tony, and welcome! I recently bought on Ebay from this seller http://stores.ebay.com.au/R-K-Hobby-Wood-Model-Ship-Tools Excellent product and service, but postage is costly. It depends on the model or supplies you want. Cheers, Brett Quote Abandoned current build - Model Shipways Bluenose - absolute garbage!

warship Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted January 18, 2014 Hi All, Thanks for your info, I'm looking for wooden ship model kits. Plastic models are popular in Taiwan (especially WWII ships), but no wooden ships, this is why I'm trying to find a good source from Internet. But usually shipping fee is really high though. Again appreciate your helps. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnkershner Posted January 18, 2014 Share #11 Posted January 18, 2014 Cannon Fodder - There is only one hobby shop in the Seattle area that has a good selection of wooden kits. But I would still buy online. But the way I am the president of the local modeling club. If you PM me with your email address I will send you a newsletter and more details. We often have members selling great kits at good prices.

Ulises Victoria Posted February 25, 2014 Share #13 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Tony. A PM is a private message. Only he can see what's in it. You don't "publish" it.
