mtaylor Posted May 1, 2020 #6 Posted May 1, 2020 Welcome to MSW, Matthew. Do start a build log for the Vic as it's the best way to get help.

Matthew Kassebaum Posted May 2, 2020 Author #8 Posted May 2, 2020 Thank you all for the warm welcome from around the world. Myself and my family hail from Branson Missouri. I did some research...not much but some. I looked through many pictures and decided on the Billing Boats HMS Victory. As I mentioned this is my first ship. I wanted something of size for extreme detailing and at 52 long and 18 wide and 36 tall????? Its a good platform. Its due by end of day the 6th and I am excited!!! Please keep an eye on my progress as I will share every step of the way.....an I can not stress enough...please please please offer all your thoughs...ideas..tricks..and advice. Again...thank you ALL for the welcome!!!! mtaylor 1

mtaylor Posted May 2, 2020 #10 Posted May 2, 2020 If you haven't done it, while you're waiting, go to the kit area (pinned post). One of them is an index for the all the kit logs. Download it and browse it for logs for your kit. You'll get an idea of what's involved.
