Hi Chuck and welcome to Model Ship World.  You have come to the right forum to learn about building wooden ship models.

Congratulations Chris on this beautiful model.  I have enjoyed following your build log.

I am shocked to hear of Bob's passing.  This is sad news as I have known Bob for many years through MSW and other forums.  He and his work were an inspiration for so many.  He will truly be missed.

Beautiful model.  The person receiving this model is a lucky person.

Welcome back Dan.  Please do a build log on your 18th century armed longboat.  We would like to follow your progress during your build.

Congratulations on finishing your Dory.  You did a great job on building this kit.  I look forward to following your Pram build.

Welcome to Model Ship World Ross.  Your HMS Beagle is looking good.

Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery.

Welcome to Model Ship World.

Congratulations BE on finishing this beautiful model.  Your build log has been a pleasure to follow and will be an inspiration for future builders of the Sphinx.

Nice models.  I had to look up your kit and found the following information: https://www.agoramodels.com/bismarck/#buy-bismarck

It looks like a fun build.

Congratulations on finishing your Terror.  You did a great job on building this model.

Hi Jon and welcome to Model Ship World.  Congratulations on finishing your Polaris.  You did a good job on building this model and it came out very nice.  I hope you start a build log on your Terror so we can follow your progress.

You are doing a good job on your Lobster Smack.  This kit builds into a nice model.  The Shipwright Series of kits from Model Shipways is an excellent way to build your skills as you progress to more complex models.

Congratulations on finishing your Aggy.  It is a beautiful model and you did a masterful job building it.

Congratulations Chuck on this fine build.  I have to echo the comments of those above.  Truly a masterpiece.  The build log is wonderful as it was interesting how you developed the various components and the thought process behind them.  Truly enjoyable.

I look forward to following your build.  I missed out on getting the Maine kit as BlueJacket only made 100 of them.  I did manage to get the limited edition Olympia kit.  I have not worked up enough nerve to tackle that kit.

Congratulations on finishing this beautiful model.  I have enjoyed following your build log.

Hi RH and welcome to Model Ship World.  It sounds like you have a love for the old sailing ships and their history.  The research can be an important part of building a good scale model.  We are glad to have you as a member if this forum.

Hi Gill and welcome to Model Ship World.  You have picked a good kit to get started in wooden ship modeling.  We are here to answer any question that you may have.

Congratulations Toni on finishing this beautiful model.  I have enjoyed following your build log.

Hi J and welcome to Model Ship World.  Chris has given you good advice.  You mention that you have no prior experience, so you definitely need good instructions to guide you through your build.  I would also start out with a simple kit to get use to building a wooden kit.  You can download the instructions of many of Vanguard's kits by going to this website: https://vanguardmodels.co.uk/

Good luck on whatever kit you should decide to build.
