Dave Marson Posted March 5, 2019 #1 Posted March 5, 2019 I am new to this site I wish to thank my friend and brother Michael Mott for showing me all the wonderful builds and how helpful this site is. I am so pleased I made my first donation. I am also very new to ship building and look forward to the many mistakes I will make. However, with the help of the wonderful people who use this site I hope you can help me become a somewhat average builder. Once again thanks everyone I have seen some amazing ships Happy ship building.. Fernando E, ccoyle, harlequin and 4 others 7

pontiachedmark Posted March 6, 2019 #6 Posted March 6, 2019 Gidday Dave and another warm welcome from the land Downunder. You certainly have found the right site for learning and the sharing of knowledge. There is a wealth of experience here and most members will freely share their expertise. When you have decided on a class or period of ship you may find it a useful exercise to look through the build logs. This has helped me immensely in the past. I also enjoy seeing the outstanding quality of the work and the problem solving involved. I wish you all the best in your endeavours. Mark. mtaylor 1
Bob Cleek Posted March 6, 2019 #7 Posted March 6, 2019 If Mike's your brother, you're certainly in good company there! We'd all give our eye teeth to have half the skill he does! We'll have to watch your progress and determine if ship modeling ability is "nature" or "nurture." mtaylor 1
