dewatt Posted January 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2020 New member to Model Ship World. Thank you for allowing me into the group. 8 years ago my wife and daughter gave me the Dinghy and Midwest Muscungus Bay Lobster Smack Wood Boat for Christmas. Never built the models until I retired. Through many mistakes on both of the models I have learned a great deal. Finished the Midwest Rowing Dinghy Wood Model Currently working on the Midwest Muscungus Bay Lobster Smack Wood Boat Future builds are Midwest Sharpie Schooner Dumas Chris Craft 1938 27' Triple Cockpit Barrelback Long Boat 18th Gentry EricWilliamMarshall, VTHokiEE, ccoyle and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
