Building Ship Models on the Web

SAILING SHIP MODEL DIARIES

A number of ship model builders have logged their progress in building specific models on web sites, with their trials, tribulations, and triumphs. Although many might be expected to build the HMS Victory or USS Constitution, I haven't yet found a site recounting the construction of one of these.
