Steel Navy Special Interest Group

The Steel Navy Special Interest Group meets last Saturday of the month in one of the members' homes. The group focuses largely on post Monitor powered ships, with particular interest in steel hulled warships, though merchants and passenger liners are also fair game. Models may be wood, plastic, resin, card stock, metal or "virtual" (i.e., computer generated). Discussions of models, modeling techniques, research and reference material are always lively, with virtually everyone taking home some new ideas to use on their own models.

Meeting locations change from month to month, and are generally published in the club's monthly newsletter, the Lynx. To view a PDF version of the latest newsletter, click here.
