Tim H. Posted June 13, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 13, 2020 Greetings, I am a novice to model ship building and the first one I will try to conquer is the Model Shipways, “Kate Cory” whaling Brig (currently awaiting its arrival via mail). I was born and raised in Yarmouth, Massachusetts and currently live/work in North-Central Virginia. (Inland…with no ocean…yuck) After watching the Tall Ships pass through the Cape Cod Canal many-many years ago, I have always wanted to try a build but never had the time to devout to the endeavor. As I approach retirement, now is the time. Cheers and thanks in advance for all the things I will likely learn here in this forum.

mtaylor Posted June 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 14, 2020 Hi Tim. Welcome to MSW. I suggest you do start a build log as it's the best way to meet people and get some help when you need it.
