Welcome to Model Ship World Mikj. Good move starting out with the Model Shipways 3-kit shipwright's modeling series. This will serve you well for future model building projects. There are a number of build logs on MSW for each of the models in this series. You will find these helpful. Feel free to start your own build log so you can get help or advice when you need it from other MSW members. Welcome Aboard!

You're doing a great job on this model so far. This model is sure to become a family heirloom full of memories and stories. Carry on, "Full Sail Ahead" -
A warm welcome to Model Ship World Roach. Your Pram looks GREAT! Good move starting with the Model Shipways Shipwright Series. I built the pram and lobster smack a while ago just to see what they were like. I ended up giving them away to another modeler. Pay close attention to the instructions there are some traps for the unwary (ask me how I know). As I recall, there were a couple of places in the instructions that were not clear, at least for me. I encourage you to check out the many build logs on MSW. There's a lot of helpful information. Welcome Aboard!

Oh, to be 15 again; when I could pick up and install small parts without the need of bifocals or a lighted magnifying glass. Welcome Aboard! That was a great introduction. I hope to see more of your work in the future.

Continuing with the WW2 theme, what about an LST with functional front doors that could be posed open or closed. You might even be able to attract some armor modelers to buy an LST kit.

That sure is a "whale" of a nice BIG Fish. Beautiful work!

My dad introduced me to building stick and tissue balsa model aircraft when I was about 10-11 years old. The finished models were usually only good for one or two flights before they had to be fixed or replaced with another balsa airplane model. Let them choose an appropriate beginner model to keep them interested.

Glad to have you aboard. There are many excellent modelers at MSW who willingly share their advice to other modelers. Enjoy your ship modeling journey. The fun is in the journey not just the destination. Hope to see some of your modeling work sometime.

Welcome to Model Ship World Tom. Now that you've completed that beautiful dory, I'll bet you're now hooked on building wooden ship models. Welcome Aboard!

Welcome Aboard Phil! An old friend once told me that once I retired, I would be busier than when I was at work. I can vouch for that. Lots of excellent modelers here on MSW who are willing to help and give advice. Hope you'll consider starting a build log. Welcome!

That's good to know. I recently acquired a Model Shipways solid hull kit as well. I guess I needed a ship model to play with until the Bluejacket West Coast lumber schooner kit is released sometime in April 2026 (I think).

Looking forward to this release. I'm now in "saving my pennies mode".

Hi Julie, Are you still working on the Forester? I sure hope so. You've made some great progress so far.

Glad to have you back at MSW

Welcome to Model Ship World Eli. Very nice model of the Endurance. There are no hard and fast rules on what goes into a build log. It's really up to the modeler. Most build logs begin with a brief history of the ship. Many then provide a brief description of the kit with several photographs of the kit contents and perhaps your first impression of the kit. Subsequent build posts could include build steps, any challenges you faced and how you addressed them. The most effective logs include several photographs of your build process. There are no deadlines for your log. Just post your progress when you are ready. This not a job. We do this for fun and enjoyment. Welcome Aboard!
