VTHokiEE Posted January 9, 2019 #1 Posted January 9, 2019 I have always wanted to build a wooden ship and (somewhat recently) I stumbled into this forum through r/modelmakers and am very glad to be here. I recently acquired the Midwest Chesapeake Flattie for my first build and now and in process of creating a work space. I can't wait to get started! mtaylor, russ, ccoyle and 1 other 4 Current Build: HM Sloop Echo 1781 (First Scratch Build) Previous Builds: HM Cutter Alert, Sharpie Schooner, Chesapeake Bay Flattie, Half-Hull (NRG)
