This is the site where active shipmodelers of all eras, types and construction material preferences meet to solve problems, share information and guide each other to useful resources. This is also the place where nautical researchers of all persuasions meet topresent and locate significant information on how ships were designed, built and operated; again, all eras and types areconsidered. Historians, archivists, writers, designers and nautical archaeologists are most welcome here. Workshop tips and ongoing project discussions abound on this list. Members include static and operational shipmodelers and even combat types. Wood scratch-builders from the classical era of sail go shoulder to shoulder with submarine modelers, pond sailers and plastic kit builders. If you're a shipmodeler looking for information, or if you are an information collector and willing to share, this is the place!
