mtaylor Posted April 16, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 16, 2020 Welcome to MSW. Here's a link to the index for kit builds. It might help find what your looking for. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/17023-quick-find-indexes-to-build-logs-for-kits/ Give some thought to opening a log as it is a great way to get help.

All you need to do is go to the 1901-present list and scroll down until you get to the "S" and there are three Smit Rotterdam builds that open fine and view just as they would if you were reading them in original forum content mtaylor 1 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
