Welcome to finewaterline.com, the website of the Fine Waterline Special Interest Group of IPMS, the International Plastic Modellers Society. As the name suggests, we are a group of modellers based in the UK whose main interest is ships depicted in their natural element, at sea. Our aim is to bring together people with an interest in building waterline ships between 1:700 and 1:350 scale, and to aim for ever higher standards in our modelling.
A gallery will show the work of the group with plenty of tips and
tricks to show how we got there. To help point you in the
right direction there is a links page to our other favourite
modelling websites and other IPMS groups, there are also those
important shops and companies producing resin ship models and all
those hard to find bits and pieces.
If you would like to join our group, submit articles and photos for possible inclusion in the site or just generally would like to ask a question, email us on - mail@finewaterline.com and we will get back to you with how to send photos and how to format them.
You don't have to be an IPMS member to join our group, all are welcome. Send your name and IPMS number (if you have one) and country of residence so we can register you.
