Fresh water sailor Posted May 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 9, 2020 Obviously, I'm new here. I didn't really need another hobby but my sister-in-law gave me two boats to build a Artesania Latina Hellen and the tug boat Amsterdam. Since the Covid-10 thing I'm staying at home I have a lot of time to build.. I have been working and am almost finished with the Hellen. I'm just waiting for some warmer weather here in Michigan so I can finish painting the hull. So far all I have learned about building model boats is from Youtube but I expect to learn more here. These are not my first boats, I have built a sailboat, a canoe and a rowboat but those were full sized 1:1 scale. I'll be lurking around for a while. I hope. druxey, Roger Pellett, rlb and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
