    It is so tough to keep calm and not hurry. I have almost finished the first planking for the left board. It's not ideal, but definitely better than I expected. I am gluing paper patches and sanding them out to form a smooth surface. I want to finish the left board to understand what problems should be avoided on the right board.

    Hello everyone, I'm creating this post to keep the story of my very first real ship modeling adventure. Before starting, I investigated the forum, and I want to thank you all for the tons of useful tips and helpful techniques, especially for the list of kits for newbies. I've chosen Amati's Lady Nelson, and I'm more than happy with the choice. It seems challenging enough but not too tough, and it doesn't require a shipyard to build it. So far, it's been pure fun to build it. Here's my progress after a week of building. PS: I'm trying to build it without any hurry, step by step as described in the kit instruction (more or less ). Everybody starts here Everything was just fine and clear. The only thing I've 'improved' is adding small pieces of paper for better fixation in the sockets. Clips and bands magic I made this thing out of cardboard to bend the bulwark. In the photo, the bulwark is bending in the wrong direction. I later redid it. However, later I noticed that the instructions were perfectly accurate. After soaking the bulwarks for an hour, they bend easily on the model, so that cardboard thing was unnecessary. Isn't she beautiful, even in this very early stage?
