Hello from Lithuania

[Algirdas]

My name is Algirdas. I'm 32 years old. I recently started making ship models. I have been developing ship models for only 2 years. My first ship model was the COREL VASA. Now I make COREL WAPPEN WON HAMBURG.
There are no more people in Lithuania who make ship models from wood.

Hello Algirdas,

 

Great to have you with us, and that is a beautiful finished model! Do you have some photos you can share of it? Maybe in a build log here?

Hello Algirdas. Welcome to MSW. Nice work on the Vasa!

Hello friend from Baltics. From Estonia myself-not many builders there also.

Hello Algirdas, you have built a beautiful model and what's even more impressive is that it is your first ship! Wow...congratulations and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the friendly consent. In Lithuania, I tried to write a letter to a forum for ship modelers, but no one wrote about the production of wooden models. Just few peoples makes models from plastic, few peoples makes from paper.

Yes, this is my first ship model. Only wooden ship kits from COREL are available in my country. It is a small country and there is very little demand for such goods. I bought a sophisticated ship kit from VASA to have a strong desire to finish it and learn a lot. I made the model in my spare time, so it took 18 months. I'll create a VASA model photo section on this page so you can see what the COREL VASA model looks like. Of course, this is not an exact replica of the actual ship, but I liked the combination of blue and gold on the ship paint. Now I make COREL's most sophisticated ship model, WAPPEN VON HAMBURG I. I like ship models that are complex and require a lot of care.
