rdianetti Posted October 18, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2016 Hello - I'm trying to get restarted in the hobby. Started a boat in 2012 and made a few mistakes and it now sits on the shelf incomplete. I'm going to try to finish it anyhow, noting that it is not going to be "perfect" in hopes to learn how to rig it. After that I am going to attempt my Phantom for which I have a great practicum, and also a little tugboat. Hope to learn more from this site and maybe even make a few acquaintences.

EJ_L Posted October 18, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 18, 2016 Welcome to MSW Bob! Glad you came back to give model ship building another go. We all have those projects that were stopped for one reason or another and yes a lot of times it was because something got messed up. No shame in that especially when you try again! You have found a great place to learn and hopefully work through those tough spots so you don't have to give up again. Best of luck to you and I look forward to seeing your build!

6ohiocav Posted October 27, 2016 Share #9 Posted October 27, 2016 Bob, Greetings from Zoar Ohio in Tuscarawas County. Welcome aboard. What part of Ohio are you in? I have to second Lee's invitation to join the Shipwrights of Central Ohio. I just did. I have not been able to attend any of the monthly meetings, but the newsletter is first rate. You found the right forum. I am currently up to my eyeballs on the running rigging on the Niagara, and could not have figured it out without the gracious help from the experts on this forum.

R.C.P. Posted October 28, 2016 Share #11 Posted October 28, 2016 A little late to the welcoming committee but, welcome from Mount Vernon, OH. Interested in seeing your build as I started 1 about 2000, gave up and threw it away. Getting ready for another try though. mtaylor and Piet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
