Tuan Posted June 3, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 3, 2020 Hi everybody, This is the first time I build a wooden ship from kit. I did choose Virginia 1918 because of its appearance and its affordable price for a new builder without any experience. I read a lot of build logs from others excellent builders on this forum to know where to start and what to do. Here are some photos of my built step by step, please give me advice if you notice something wrong. Thank you.

John Ruy Posted June 3, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2020 Excellent work Tuan, looks like you brought some great micro carpentry skills with you to your first build. Looking forward to seeing your finished product.
