Hello All

[Tony Dee]

Hello all from Virginia

 

Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am extremely green and getting started with trying out the build for the Blue Jacket Revenue Cutter. I already screwed the hull shaping up and am going to have to call them to see if i could just order a new hull since i really messed the first one up. I'm hoping they will be able to send me a new one.

 

I don't want to get discouraged and am going to take it very slowly. One build at a time. Starting with beginner model and hoping to advance over time. I love working with my hands and am eventually looking for something to keep me busy in future retirement and to pass down.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

 

Stop by and say hello

 

Have a great day

 

Tony

Hi Tony.....we have all had disasters over the years......don't let it put you off.....my current build came so close to being pulped for various reasons. Keep going and it is never a waste of time even if you scrap the current build you are on because you will have learned from it. Practice on it even if you never display it, you will eventually turn out good stuff.

Welcome to MSW Tony,  I like your thinking,  "if the first don't work do another"

Have fun and always  enjoy 😃👍

Tony....post some pics and see if anyone can help.....even if it is an embarrassing total disaster no one will give a monkeys but will see if there is a workaround.

Here is a picture . Took too much off I think

May be able to do a work around to get it to match the template. It would mean the total hull length would be just a tiny bit shorter if sanding the bow near the deck. But that's only a guess and a quick one at that! Hopefully more experienced modelers will chime in. Oh! And welcome to the group.

Welcome!

Welcome to MSW, Tony.   If you haven't already, start a build log in the kit area.   Also, there's an index in the pinned posts on the first page.  Have a look at it and you should see other builds of the same model which will help you.

Hi Tony,

 

Per our conversation, I think Bondo will be able to fill out the bow nicely.

And yes, start a build thread by all means. If you finish it, I will give you 10% off the next kit you get from us!

Welcome Tony, as stated, everyone has had an “oh crap” moment. I’ve had several. Take your time and ask questions. Above all, have fun and welcome to the forum.
