hi Nikki , we deal with all aspects of shipping both in miniature (the predominent area) and in full size. The only reservation is the full size on most  of the topic boards are  Paddlers either Steam, Diesle, Electric , Stern wheel Side Paddlers or Centre Paddlers. If the WWII ship is a paddler then  a thread on it would most certainly be welcome.
I hope that sets out what we do and what we are about.
cheers

Hi Nikki

Welcome from me also.    :goodnews Although our main  interest is paddle driven vessels, there is a section on the forum headed "Powered Craft" under "Other Marine Models" which deals with non paddle models.  Perhaps you could open a thread there on your model warships.

Hi Nikki , I've been associated with the site in this guise for about five or six years. Previously there was a dedicated Yahoo group for a similar time. Most of the Yahoo members have migrated over to this one and I think I'm correct in saying that PJ from Canada is one of the founders of the group.  I'm sure someone will rectify that statement if it is wrong. This forum is  provided as a site dedicated to the furthering of paddlers of all kinds by a group of four international members (who bear the costs) and to whom we are forever grateful.

cheers

Jim

So That was cool..
