Fuji Posted May 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2020 New to building plank on frame models! Started building the Virginia 1819 by Artesania Latina in February 2020 and sure wish that I would have found this site before starting! There are a lot of great tips and observations from other builders for this kit which I could have used instead of powering through the issues I encountered! I’m looking forward to seeing how to master the art of wooden model ship building. As I told a co-worker and fellow model ship builder, nothing is as frustrating nor oddly satisfying than building a wooden model ship! ccoyle, JeffT, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louie da fly Posted May 28, 2020 Share #10 Posted May 28, 2020 That model's already looking very good, Fuji. You've done very well in just a few months! Welcome to MSW. Start up a build log for your model (you can include "post-dated"photos). We're all suckers for pictures of beautiful ship models and you should be able to pick up a lot of tips as you're going along.
