Greetings I am looking for a newsgroup or user forum for model ship builders. Due to resp. allergies to tropical wood dust and lacquer finishes, I am forced to give up my beloved hobby of acoustic guitar building. But I'm not willing to give up wood working altogether. I have always wanted to build a wooden ship model and this seems like a good time to try. I have well-honed skills in fine-woodworking and inlay technique. I've excellent focus and fine hand eye coordination. Of course being a luthier, I've also a complete workshop and most tools needed for this type of endeavor. What I lack is basic model building knowledge and a support network to help me get through my first project(s). If anyone on this group can put me onto a more focused (ship building) group of hobbyists I would be very grateful. And suggestions are welcome. Thanks and Happy Holidays! Randy
