There is a friendly group of folks who get together at the Deltaville Maritime Museum in Deltaville Virginia the second Thursday of each month at 10AM. We're not a very formal or structured group, just folks who like to make boats. Not much more to say, we have a wide range of interests and skill levels. Tug boats, Chesapeake Bay work boats, goofy fun with cheap kit boats, and serious high end models are all part of our pleasant group. Beginners are welcome, treated kindly, and encouraged, so don't be shy. A few of us are also members of the Hampton Roads Ship Model Society which is listed in it's own post in the sub forum. Also a wonderful group of folks :-)

We invite visitors to tune into our regular monthly meetings (Jamuary through May and September through November) both in person (see the web site) or via our Zoom link. On the later a direct request is required to obtain the meeting ID and pass code. Meetings are the 3rd Thursday of the month unless otherwise noted.

Our current web site is modelshipwrightguildwny.org. Please check back occassionaly as we may be moving to a different support service. You may contact us through this forum. The web site also has a vehicle to contact me directly as I opened up a portal to my mail provider. How well it works I have yet to check.

You may be interested to know that our logo was produced through a contest we hosted and was developed using iterative AI editing. Just another example of our embrace of today's technologies.

The Philadelphia Ship Model Society is a fraternity of artisans dedicated to preserving, enhancing, researching and perpetuating America’s rich nautical heritage through the art of modeling ships.

Our monthly meetings typically feature skill & technique topical presentations, extensive time devoted to member “Show n’ Tell” ship modeling projects of every imaginable kind, club business and plenty of time to catch-up with colleagues during refreshment breaks. We also encourage members who can’t be present to join our meetings through an online ZOOM link. Our members skill levels range from neophytes to professional model builders. Visitors & member guests are always welcome.

Our monthly newsletter recaps meeting activity, modeling techniques, future programs, developments on the Philadelphia area scene and interesting nautical/naval history.

The Hampton Roads Ship Model Society (HRSMS), founded in 1967, brings together individuals who share a passion for ship modeling and maritime history. Our mission is to provide a friendly and welcoming environment where members can share ideas, develop new skills, and enjoy the hobby together.

Our membership includes modelers of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels, from those building their very first model to nationally recognized, award-winning modelers. Members pursue a wide variety of interests, including historical research, scratch and kit building, radio-controlled models, and highly detailed scale reproductions. Members have built models that are displayed in museums throughout the United States, reflecting the exceptional talent and craftsmanship found within our Society.

HRSMS publishes a monthly newsletter, The Logbook, and meets on the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. at The Mariners’ Museum in Newport News, Virginia, with a Zoom option available for those who cannot attend in person.

Whether you are an experienced modeler, just getting started, or simply interested in maritime history, we would love to have you join us. Visitors are always welcome. Please feel free to contact me for additional information or to receive the Zoom meeting link.
