steven. R Posted May 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2020 Hi everyone...I am a new member. I live in Walla Walla ,Wa. Been ship modeling for at least 30 years. My first wooden kit was the Scottish Maid made in 1986. Great introduction to double layered planking and trying to get some experience into wooden ships. I fell in love with sailing ships when about 10 years old. I am an avid artist so I do oils and watercolors as well. I had an uncle I met at 12 years old who scratch built wooden ships and I was hooked! Anyway I have a build going right now of the schooner Brigadoon from freedom song boatworks. Plan on starting a thread on this unique kit. mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, JeffT and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbie Posted May 30, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 30, 2020 Welcome to MSW Steven I don't think i have seen the Brigadoon, will be keen to see your log. Any photos of your other models built?

genocon Posted June 3, 2020 Share #10 Posted June 3, 2020 No fair being an artist. It makes finishing your ship a lot easier because you already know how to paint. Welcome, by the way. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
