PohjolanMatti Posted January 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2020 Hi to all model enthusiasts! I’m new to wooden models and just starting out to learn the ropes of the trade. I came across with Model Ship World by accident and what a great community it is; I’ve learned so much already from the conversations, excellent guidelines and videos and I also chose my first build project based on these. I just started to build my first model - Artesania Latina ”Virginia 1819” schooner. I like the period fore-and-aft rigged ships and thought that this model would be easy enough to start with but also provide the needed learning experience for my future modelling. I also enjoy doing research so in addition to getting familiar with the MSW treasures I’m currently reading: - Chapelle, The American Fishing Schooners 1825-1935 - Petersson, Rigging Period Fore-And-Aft Craft - Mastini, Ship Modeling Simplified I hope I can bring some value to MSW in the future as I’ve already got so much from it. Any good book and model recommendations are more than welcome 🙂 With regards, Veli-Matti JeffT, GrandpaPhil, ccoyle and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
