New builder from Finland

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!

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

Draken is a great kit to build, and you are doing great with her. 

Looking forward seeing more of the build.
