Beat to quaters Posted March 13, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2020 Hello to all. I live on a small island off the coast of Colombia. I have built many plastic models and some wooden planes many years ago. I do have experience with woodworking. Run a large furniture factory in Cameroon Africa. Hopefully that will help. I was thinking as my first project to build Modelshipways ms1457 starter kit. Any advise would be helpful. Thank You EricWilliamMarshall, JeffT, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted March 13, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 13, 2020 Welcome! That particular kit is a popular beginner's project, and there are plenty of finished examples here on the forum. Very interesting place to be from, San Andres Island -- I had to Google it. Cheers! JeffT and mtaylor 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

allanyed Posted March 14, 2020 Share #9 Posted March 14, 2020 Beat to Quarters -- Any name you can share by which we can address you? Took a quick look on the 'net about San Andres. Your island has had some interesting visitors, from Columbus to Henry Morgan. Sounds like a beautiful place on earth to be living. Welcome to MSW!!!
