Hi Chestcutter and welcome to Model Ship World.  The Vanguard builds into a very nice model.  I hope you post pictures of your model for all of us to see.

Hi Rich and welcome to Model Ship World.  You have a special talent in producing laser cut kits.  I am sure that you will appreciate some of the laser cut work here on MSW.

Congratulations on finishing your Enterprise.  Beautiful model.

Hi Jason and welcome to Model Ship World.  Are you currently building a model?

Did some more work on the deck. I like the main deck getting close to what I wanted ,just the colour, I think It should have been Grey like I said  I have got to learn how to keep my nail line straighter.  lol

Building any ship model is a learning experience.  You are making good progress.

Mark, You have received some good advise.  I would think the Sultana is a good kit to start with.  There is a practicum on how to build this kit that was written by Chuck Passaro.  It is located in the Articles Database near the bottom of the page at this link: https://thenrg.org/resource/articles

Whatever kit you decide to start with, please start a build log so we can follow along.

You have made a good start on your model.  I am looking forward to seeing more progress on this build.

Sorry to hear of your health problems.  Take care of yourself.  Your Medway can wait til you feel better.  I have known a lot of people that have had Covid in the past several weeks.  It will not go away.

Bob, sorry to hear of your illness.  Take care of yourself and wishing you the best in your recovery.

You are making good progress on your Terror and it sounds like you have a plan for the planking.  There are a lot of Terror build logs that you can use for guidance.  Just click on the Terror tag below your title and it will bring them up in a new window.

Congratulations on finishing your Dory.  The added details to the interior made this boat come alive.  I look forward to your build of the Pram.

Congratulations Dan on finishing this model.  You did an excellent job on building this model. 

Hi Rob and welcome to Model Ship World.  I can tell by your experience in modeling that you will do just fine building ship models.  I look forward to seeing your work.

Hi Fred and welcome to Model Ship World.  I really enjoy the work modelers do with the miniature figures.  I look forward to your build log.

Hi Jim and welcome to Model Ship World.  You are going to find that retirement is great.  We are glad to have you aboard.

Congratulations on finishing your Dory.  You did a good job on building this kit and I am sure that you learned some build techniques that will help you on future models.
