Hello There,
I don't have too extensive of a history building models, and barely have the space. I live in Queens, NYC and have started building models over the past 3 years. I have built 3 plastic ships, 1 simple wooden ship and a couple airplanes. Nothing too fancy, and it usually takes about a year to finish each of the ships.
I was on a vacation up in Acadia National Park and stumbled across a place advertising Model ships. I went it and it turned out to the the showroom/HQ of Bluejacket Ship Crafters. the models were beautiful and inspiring. Seeing a kit of the Yacht America, and being a big America's Cup fan, I quickly bought the kit before realizing what I was getting into. I have since realized that as excited as I am to build this model, I don't have the space and am instead reading posts and learning the new techniques I need to learn before building America.
There are many tools I will need to acquire but I am excited about this next challenge in model making.
I am in my mid 30s, working in advertising and building models in my spare time.

Thank you. Yes I found the forum because in the Bluejacket box there was a paper saying I should join the forum and create a build log.
I only have the deck on and ribs, so really nothing to be done until I get more tools, and have the space to build, but so excited reading other people's builds.
Thank you fore welcoming me!
