JREwing Posted April 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2020 Hello Everyone, Just wanted to say thank you for allowing me to join this forum. My project is one that my father built over fifty years ago in Scotland. Sadly he is gone now and the ship has made its way over to Canada where I live now, I would like to get it back to some type of condition that it can be displayed at home. Started this project a while ago and never had the time to get completely in to the rebuild with working two jobs and owning a house. I have been putting off for years now and feel its time to get on with this rebuild. Starting to work on masts and rigging. Reason for reaching out to MSW is to find some great resources I can look at to help me along, I know this is going to be a labor of love but once its complete I can admire something you do not see everyday, well not here on the prairies of Alberta.

Louie da fly Posted April 25, 2020 Share #7 Posted April 25, 2020 That's a beautiful model, JR. Start a build log so we can all follow along. There are quite a few restorations among the build logs that might help you as you go. And don't forget to ask questions. There's bound to be someone out there who's been in a similar situation and can give advice if you hit a problem. Steven mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

mtaylor Posted April 25, 2020 Share #8 Posted April 25, 2020 JR, if you do a log, put it in the scratch area and add the keyword "RESTORATION" at the end of the title. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
