Algol1957 Posted June 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 11, 2020 Hello, My name is Suparno and I’m quite new to the hobby of ship building. I’ve built models before - mainly airplanes - in my younger days but that was decades ago... I’ve just bought the Amati Lady Nelson kit and so I’ll be scouring through the site or seeking guidance from you all as I proceed with the construction. There is so much to learn! I look forward to being a part of this community. All the very best. Stay safe.

I did some model ships a couple of decades ago but got distracted with life. I came back at the start of Covid as I was spending more time at home and have come back to the hobby with a passion. I forgot how much I love this hobby. mtaylor 1 Quote Current Build: San Francisco (original) - Artesania Latina Completed: Longboat 18th Century (MS1457) - Model Shipways Bluenose II - Billings Member of the Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie da fly Posted June 19, 2020 Share #14 Posted June 19, 2020 Photos! We need photos! Seriously, start a build log under "kits" - we all love to follow and see how you're doing, and it's a good way to get tips and advice (and supportive comments!) to help you with your build. A lot of other people have made this model and if you hit any problems, they've probably already encountered them and can help you overcome them. mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
