Are you a ship modeller or a naval historian? You MUST Become a SMMLlie Person!! It's FREE!. Join SMML, the SHIP MODELLERS MAILING LIST. This is a very informative Internet discussion group for and by ship modellers, now run by Shane and Lorna Jenkins from Australia (principally 20th Century plastic and resin modelling... just up our street!) and it is a great way of meeting other ship modellers and getting answers to all those questions you wanted to ask but never knew to whom you should ask them! It is a free service, and there are upwards of 1000 of us from around the world.. manufacturers, naval historians, well-known naval authors, and some of the finest ship modellers out there mingling with we humbler folk. Simply E-Mail Shane at shipmodels@tac.com.au and, in the E-Mail Subject box, simply type "SUBSCRIBE". You will NOT get an immediate response from Shane, but, within 24 hours, you will get a personal message and introduction to the mailing list. You will start to receive your daily "fix" of questions and answers next day, and can join in at any stage. NEW! SMML finally has its own website!
