No longer a youth and now retired with some spare time. As a kid I built plastic models voraciously. My allowance always went to it. Loved the WWl bi-planes and WWll props. I also liked ships and built several Constitutions, Viking ships, Biremes and so on, all in plastic. A few years back I tried briefly to build the Harriet Lane but got a kit with zero instructions. I didn’t really have time to dedicate to it so it was definitely a failure.
I did did a little more research this time and decided on the Dusek Gokstad Viking ship for a first build. I am quite pleased with it so far. I started to build it before I discovered the “Build Log”. Next time I will do that right. As I am ready right now to start some planking. I have looked at others build logs and they have been a wealth of information. I am taking my time and doing it slowly, reading the instructions, making sure I understand the step and going piece by piece. My teenage Granddaughter has decided she wants to help so it may just turn into a joint project. Hopefully it will turn out well and if so I will buy two kits next time and we can compete.
well that’s enough for now, hello to all from Arkansas
