Hello from Canada


Recommended Posts

Hello all you wonderful people here on these boards! I've been hiding in the shadows for many years now and i'm finaly ready for the light! I've been building model as far back as i can remember, but only with plastics. That being said, I have bought myself a new Latina Bluenose II Ship Model Kit many moons ago and have since decided to throw caution to the wind and dive in with both feet. Without these forums the seas of this wonderful hobby would be increasingly hard to navagate. Thank you MSW and everyone on deck for the all the help and camaraderie we find here in.

 

~all the best~

Welcome! If you have not yet had a look at Frank Mastini's Ship Modeling Simplified, I believe that's the exact kit that he used to illustrate his methods.

 

Cheers!

Welcome to MSW, Nemo.   Give some thought to opening a build log in the kit area.  It's a great way to make friends and get help when you need it.
