pontiachedmark Posted January 19, 2019 #6 Posted January 19, 2019 Gidday Mike and a warm welcome from the Land Downunder. I think it's a good idea to look at some different build logs and see what can be expected in modelling a wooden ship. Your experience in modelling should give you a good grounding. The level of support, encouragement and knowledge here is fantastic. Wishing you all the best in your build. Mark.
