About

hello there…….my name’s Denis Wenzel,  and one of my favorite hobbies is model building.   I used to build models,  primarily of plastic,  but for the last ten years,  I have added wooden model ships.   Hard to say which I like best….both mediums are really fun to do.   I like a wide range of models…….whether it be ships,  cars,  or planes.   I find this to be a way of giving back….writing these logs.  I hope that folks who are currently building these subjects will be able to find them,  and find them useful.   I am no expert, but the logs show what I do,  and I hope to give others ideas in how to advance…or even enhance their model projects.   I started writing these logs,  through a suggestion of a friend,  who was very instrumental in getting me started building wooden ships.  He was a Billing Boats distributor and asked me to write a log on my very first ship,  so he could use them on his shop website.  We became very good friends.   The shop is closed now,  time has a way of changing things.   I will never forget my friend….and continued to write these logs…..part habit……and in part to honor him and his wife.

Thank you Tom and Susan
