I decided for Xmas that I was going to start ship modeling for my project for the year. I'm a life long sailboat racer and decided on a J-Class Endeavor model. May be a bit over my head, but I wanted a challenge. The model came with some tools, but quickly realized I needed more so I bought a mid-level tool kit.

I've laid everything out and have a workspace set up. Reading the instructions, or at least the first couple of pages. If someone would like to be my buddy on this project so I can ask about a million questions along the way that would be great.

 

Wish me luck,

Sananda

Hello Sananda,  Welcome to MSW.  The best way to get help and meet folks is to start a build log.

Sananda,

 

Welcome. You will find a number of build logs for Endeavour if you use the search facility. I built one a few years ago (link below my name) and if you need help don't hesitate to ask. A build log is the best way of getting advice from a wide range of excellent builders. Good luck.
