OldMart Posted April 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2020 Hi Everyone. What a great site, full of fantastic builds and info, I am at the moment attempting the Cutty Sark, with some success but with some mistakes but learned a lot. I do want to build the Victory however I have decided to start small with a bow section from Mantua. when the kit comes I will be let you all know and post some pic hopefully. Thanks everybody for giving me the inspiration with your fantastic models, just hope I can come somewhere near to your standards Kind Regards to you all "OldMart" Martin from UK.

mtaylor Posted April 24, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 24, 2020 Welcome to MSW, Martin. Consider a build log for the Cutty and then for Victory. Logs are excellent for getting help and meeting folks.

OldMart Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted April 24, 2020 Hi Mark. thanks for that, how do I change this log to Cutty Sark? Or do I just start another log. Kind Regards Martin. JeffT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted April 24, 2020 Share #6 Posted April 24, 2020 You actually start a log in either the kit area or scratch area depending on whichever one it is. This area is basically just a "meet and greet" type. As for the log itself, once you've determined which area, just look at top of the first page where there's pinned posts to help you with naming, etc. JeffT 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
