modeller_masa Posted January 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2020 Hello, Before starting reading this, sorry about my poor English skill. I'm a wooden ship modeller which is considered most rare hobbiest in South Korea. Because of super thin community in SK, I had a lot of help from this forum when I built my ships. Thank you. I began with the Artesania endeavour longboat, and the most recent ship I completed was the Artesania King of the Mississippi. Currently I'm building a 'la recouvrance' from the Soclaine. The reason I decided to join this foreign community is that I want to share my technic regarding unventable tungsten reinforced mast to everyone. I searched several times related with my technic, but there were no topics related with it. I want to open the technic to everyone and receive feedbacks from worldwide modellers to improve it. I'm a newbie modeller, so my most activities will be reading or searching topics, but I hope you people enjoy my pictures when I finish each ships. Thank you for reading, and happy new lunar year. masa BobG, Dean77, GrandpaPhil and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to buy CNC machine from china which costs $80, studied how to use it, and made the wheels from plastic panels. mtaylor, ccoyle, bruce d and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
