    So best advice would be to get in contact with the club. WWCC has multiple loaner ships for new people looking to join

    When I left I had to leave my Italian battleship behind. I ended up essentially donating it to the club for new members as long as it remained in the club. That might be an option but I am not sure as I haven’t been back there in a few years

    Last I heard it was in San Diego with the southern chapter haha but my point was they definitely have loaners available and lots of knowledge

    I have been working on the SS Dodge. Its a great ship, but I would eventually like to buy a actual combat ship. I was wondering what a good starting ship is. (Not Vac U Boat I already have one and Ill stick with that for now).
    @Julian Barbera bought a dead VU and I am considering this option. IF you have dead ships (preferably 'Merican) than I will consider them (If they're big gun that is best)
    I kinda want to make it so I don't want to buy something already made.
    I have been enticed by modelshipsahoy's Baltimore :D. Maybe later.
    What do you guys think?

    I'm glad I bought a used ship and refitted it. It provides lots of experience useful for building your own first ship, and you don't feel as bad about sinking it. And when the time comes for your own build, you will have all the tools you need to make a quality product.
