Greetings from Central Pennsylvania


Recommended Posts

Greetings from Central PA. I am a retired consulting engineer. I spent my career designing and building all things water and wastewater.  I have a wide variety of interests including  truck camper camping and bikepacking (backpacking using a bike).  I have always been fascinated by model ships and have decided to give it a try.  My first attempt will be the Model Shipways-Sultana, which just showed up in the mail today.    I plan to follow Chuck Passaro's Practicum which I have read though several times.  I have at best beginner woodworking skills so doing this model will be a test of my patience and perseverance.  I don't expect to finish it anytime soon. That said I am looking forward to the build.   I will start a build log after I get into it a bit and assuming I haven't destroyed it, LOL.  Thanks.

Welcome to MSW, Bill.   I do suggest you open a build log as it's a great way to get help and meet others.
