Oboship Posted June 27, 2020 #1 Posted June 27, 2020 Hi community, I have been in ship modelling fo quite some time and completed Caldercraft's Cruiser and Ballahoo as well as Amati's Lady Nelson (which is probably similar to the Sherbourne). Currently, I am working on the Jalouse and found a few threads in this forum for that model, which is why I am here now. About 10 years ago I started with the Diana but had to put it aside because of time reasons; before I will continue with this kit, I decided to resume ship modelling with smaller kits at first. I had the schooner Pickle which is a real beauty, but for several reasons I had to hand it over to the waste bin... I might dare starting a build log. All the best Uwe mtaylor, Vladimir_Wairoa, ccoyle and 4 others 7 Quote

Oboship Posted June 28, 2020 Author #10 Posted June 28, 2020 Dear all, Thanks for the friendly welcome posts! And thanks for the lesson on Nanometers, Dziadeczek 🙂. Since this is a marine forum I thought it appropriate to indicate the bearing and distance in nautical miles (nm)... 😉 But seriously, from Hamburg it takes about 1 hour by car or train. As for build logs I will shortly reply on that mtaylor 1 Quote
Louie da fly Posted June 28, 2020 #11 Posted June 28, 2020 Uwe, I'm sure everybody would love to see both your completed models and a build log of your present one. I know I would. mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Nirvana Posted June 29, 2020 #14 Posted June 29, 2020 Hi Uwe, and a warm welcome to MSW, we do have a gallery where you can post your finished models. Finished models are being rotated at the top-bar. So, please upload them and describe models, any story around them - but no build logs, thank you. Start a build log of your current ship and when running into troubles start asking questions, we are here to help. mtaylor and Ryland Craze 2 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

genocon Posted July 1, 2020 #17 Posted July 1, 2020 Welcome. Starting with small kits is a good move. But smaller scale stuff is always so hard to work with. My fingers are too thick. So, a small kit with a large scale is best. Nirvana and mtaylor 2 Quote
