Greg M Posted August 15, 2020 #1 Posted August 15, 2020 Hello everyone. I was a pretty active member on the old MSW about 10-12 years ago, during my younger single days, but somewhere in getting married and kids I drifted away from the hobby. I had been working towards learning the skills of a true POF with my last build being The Lively. During the current lockdown and the boredom that comes with it, I had the sudden urge a couple weeks ago to try something new (again) and pulled out my old tools and kits and have started in on the Model Shipways Phantom figuring it would take a little bit for the skills to come back, it's not too daunting. A quick google search every time I was trying to remember a technique kept taking me here, so joining NRG and this forum was a no brainer. Looking forward to taking the time to see everything I've missed and continuing to learn. I keep finding myself being drawn to The Winchelsea group build, so already starting to think that may be where I head to next.

Greg M Posted August 15, 2020 Author #9 Posted August 15, 2020 Thank You all for the warm welcome back. It's nice to see the amount of names I recognize. Great idea on the pictures of the Phantom. I'm still early enough (halfway through coppering the hull) that not too much progress hasn't been captured. I'll start a build log tomorrow. mtaylor and Ryland Craze 2 Quote Current: HMS Winchelsea Finished: Phantom New York Pilot Boat
