Recommended Posts

My names Dwight ( no I wasn't named after a President or a CW singer ) and I'm a retired chemistry teacher. I've been building models as long as I can remember but just decided to add shipwright to my resume'. I've kinda started a build log and may actually continue it if the results of the build aren't awful. I'll try and enclose a pic of one of my last RR build so to prove I'm not completely daft1384131804_IMG_0212(1).thumb.JPG.aea2aec1b2cc0549be06a8852168c1a6.JPG trying this ship thing.

Welcome to MSW from Central Texas.   Very nice railroad model/diorama.  As for the ship building, remember it is not a competition.  We are here to enjoy and share the hobby, learn a few things, develop our skills, pass the time, and in some cases use swear words.  :)  It's all good....

 Me thinks being daft is not optional, it's a prerequisite. 🤔

Gidday Dwight and a warm welcome from the Land Downunder.

What a fantastic diorama.

You will find loads of support and encouragement here.

When you encounter an issue or you are unsure I encourage you to ask questions.

Your previous modelling experience will be a definite bonus.

Wishing you all the best in your build.

Mark.
