Many years ago I fancied myself a budding wooden ship builder, and even though I am still fascinated by them I haven't been able to muster the patience to get any good at it. This has left me with several back issues from the late 90's of Seaways' Ships In Scale taking up space on the bookshelf. I'll gladly make them available to anyone interested enough to pay the cost of shipping.
Here's what i have:
Vol V #s 5-6
Vol VI #s 1-6
Vol VII #s 1,3-6
Vol VIII #s 1-6
Vol IX #s 1-4,6
Vol X, #s 1-4
PM me if you have an interest.

I want to thank you publicly for making these available. They came in the mail today. These will give me many hours of pleasure reading articles from the skilled builders of wood ships. I've done plastic for many years, mostly aircraft carriers, my interest as I served aboard USS ESSEX CVS-9, and now am the assistant treasurer of the USS ESSEX Association. I have done a few small wood boats and am quite comfortable working with wood as I was a lifelong carpenter by trade. I'm moving in to larger and more complicated wood builds now, and these magazines will help a lot.
Also, thanks for the two extra "How To books as well. Quite unexpected.
Thank you
EJ
