OK gang this is going to be a brief foray away from 18 wheelers etc but I was inspired by something I saw at Telford to have another go at that Holy Grail of modelling, rigging a square rigged sailing ship. On doing some research I discover that theres a whole other world out there modelling away, just like the railway modellers. Shipbuilders! And I don't mean a bunch of lads on the Tyne, I mean a whole swathe of people that build wooden ship kits. And make a seriously good job of it! Just check this loony out! modelshipworld.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6001Anyway I'm gonna have a go. My beginners choice is the Amati 'Lady Nelson' on order from Wonderland Models. Wish me luck... www.shousha-inc.com/images/1300_01_Lady_Nelson

Ah right perhaps you have to be registered. If you can see the forum look at the 'New to the hobby' section, and the post 'New presentation'.

Ok I'm quite enjoying this actually. I joined a ship modelling forum cos you don't half have to know some new techniques here. Planking a hull!!! And I mean cutting planks and shaping them This is just the frame...

You're mad - I tried a Billings tug model a few years ago and the planked hull was an absolute nightmare. First time I ever gave up on a model - mind, sold it on e-bay for more than I paid though!
