jackieofalltrades Posted August 30, 2020 #1 Posted August 30, 2020 Hey all not sure how many members are Canadian let alone women but here I am. I work in a lot of different scales but started primarily 1:12 dollhousing. Mostly I love that it lets me work in multiple mediums from PE, wood, styrene and even electronics! mostly right now I'm raring to go with the first run of photo etch but first I have to get my desktop rebuilt since I'm short the artwork! so frustrating to be so close... Anyways, that's me in a nutshell. Hi to you all! JeffT, BenD, Duanelaker and 5 others 8 Quote

Louie da fly Posted August 31, 2020 #6 Posted August 31, 2020 Hi Jackie, and welcome to MSW. Do you have a ship model you're building or planning to build? Make sure you start a build log when you do - there's instructions on how to do that either here or here depending on whether you're making a kit or building from scratch. It's a very good way to get help and advice if you hit problems, and encouragement from people with common interests. Looking foward to seeing more from you. mtaylor and Edwardkenway 2 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

jackieofalltrades Posted August 31, 2020 Author #8 Posted August 31, 2020 Thanks all for the warm welcome. I'm a scrstch builder so I don't know about u but btw that and multiple mediums, (& a disability or two) it means that things take me a painfully long time lol. I hope it doesn't matter that the vessel I want to model is super simple. Not a warship or schooner or anything more than the houseboat we spent a month on when I was a teen I tend to model either memories or gifts.. allanyed, druxey, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote
Louie da fly Posted August 31, 2020 #9 Posted August 31, 2020 Sounds like a very good project. Looking forward to seeing it. And don't worry about the time it takes. Some people build fast, others build slow. Just go at your own pace. jackieofalltrades, mtaylor and Edwardkenway 3 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
