Kounstantinou Posted August 26, 2017 #1 Posted August 26, 2017 New member with novice experience (is that a thing?) in wooden model ship building. I've built plenty of plastic kits in the past, but am working on my first wooden kit now. Rather transient in nature; currently in Italy. I'm looking forward to doing a lot of reading and learning on this forum. Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom and experience. Cheers! EJ_L, geoff and Tom E 3
