alichty044 Posted October 21, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2018 I wanted to take a moment to say hello to everybody. Let me start by saying that the skill that you all have is incredible. I am not new to modeling in general. However, I have never done anything similar to this. I just received the MS 18th Century Armed Longboat. I thought that would be a good model to "cut my teeth" on. I have already begun by transferring the bearding line and cutting in the rabbet. I am sure that I will have many questions as I progress. I only hope that I can turn out something that is a quarter as good as what I have seen on this site. I feel that this is perhaps the best site that I have found and I am glad to become a new member.

mtaylor Posted October 21, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2018 Welcome to MSW, Aaron. Do give some serious thought to opening a build log. It's the best way to get and encouragement on the build and also leave a legacy for other builders. It's also a great way to meet other builders. geoff 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alichty044 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted October 22, 2018 Thank you guys for the warm welcome. Bilge Rat, I will consider starting a build log. I am just a little self conscious about putting all my mistakes out there for the world to see...lol. However, on the flip side it might help to keep me on track. I can become side tracked pretty easily. Oh look..... shiny!! pontiachedmark and geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted October 23, 2018 Share #7 Posted October 23, 2018 Bilge Rat is job. Mark is name. We all are at first self-conscious about that. But the advanced builders here are very willing to help and offer advice. And I agree that a build log does keep you on track. I'll see your "Oh look.... shiny" and raise you "Oh look.. a shiny new quarter." I have the same problem. geoff 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
