SallyNye Posted March 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2020 I'm new to model builds ...senior citizen ...live near South Haven, Michigan ...member of the Michigan Maritime Museum because I like their programs. So, when I found this site through "Friends Good Will" search, I found Mark Krug's post. Even though it's WAY beyond my skill level, I'm "following" 🙂 ...have so much "basic" stuff to learn. Thanks for having newbie categories. JeffT, Keith Black, ccoyle and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Black Posted April 1, 2020 Share #9 Posted April 1, 2020 Sally, welcome. Grass Lake here, between Jackson and Ann Arbor. There are more jaw dropping artist here than you can shake a stick at but they're friendly folk and willing to answer any question asked. Don't, I repeat don't feel intimidated, everyone starts on the bottom rung. Strolling through the build logs is a great pastime in and of itself, finding your niche and joining in will add that much more to your Model Ship World experience......Keith mtaylor 1 Quote Current Builds: Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
