Dilbert55 Posted June 17, 2017 #4 Posted June 17, 2017 Welcome back Jeff, why not give us a picture of your Fair American as she is now, then start a Build Log for the remainder.
willwilco Posted June 17, 2017 Author #5 Posted June 17, 2017 Will do, but I think that the forum that used to be Model Shipworld.net had my build. Is that this forum now?
Dilbert55 Posted June 17, 2017 #6 Posted June 17, 2017 Not sure, only been a member for 3 years. Can't believe there is another model ship forum with more credentials than the collective memberships here has. There are some mind-blowing builds in this forum.
ccoyle Posted June 17, 2017 #7 Posted June 17, 2017 This is actually MSW 2.0. If you've been away for a few years, then you probably missed the Great Crash a couple years back.
