MiNi Posted January 10, 2020 #1 Posted January 10, 2020 Hi! My name is Mikko, and I started my first wooden boat model just before christmas. My model is a Billing boats Dragen. Now I am doing the planking. It seems to take some time, but I think the slower the better! I’ve really enjoyed so far. I am a sailor too, and building feels good while waiting a new sailing season! I was very happy to find this awesome forum, thanks! -Mikko Fernando E, EricWilliamMarshall, pythagoras and 5 others 8 Quote

Henke Posted January 13, 2020 #14 Posted January 13, 2020 Tervetuloa (Welcome) Mikko, Can I encourage you to start a build log? You seem to have a good start. There are others building "Dragen" (The dragon in Danish). A build log can be useful when you get stuck with poor instruction etc. Regards Henrik Moxis and mtaylor 2 Quote "The secret of getting ahead is getting started" - Mark Twain
Nirvana Posted January 13, 2020 #15 Posted January 13, 2020 Terve Mikko, and welcome to MSW. Draken is a great kit to build, and you are doing great with her.
