Rangemike Posted November 23, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2019 Hello All - Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been building (plastic airplane) models since I was a kid, including a Stinson L-5 light plane that I built for my Dad several years ago. He flew one of those in WWII. I completed the Model Shipways Phantom a couple of years ago, and really enjoyed it. I'm now working on the MS Mayflower, my first plank-on-bulkhead kit. I've been reading some of the build logs for the Mayflower and other ships, and am very impressed. Hope to get some good ideas and suggestions from the veterans here at MSW. ccoyle and EricWilliamMarshall 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted November 24, 2019 Share #8 Posted November 24, 2019 Hi Mike, Welcome to MSW. We have quite a few members from Missouri here I lived there for about 20 years. I suggest you start a build log on your Mayflower. It's a great way to make friends and also get help and advice when you need it.
