Daniel Filipe Posted September 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2020 Hello everyone, i’m Daniel, i’m from Portugal and i am going to start this big adventure in a few weeks maybe. I have 23 almost 24 years old and my family introduced to me plastic modelling since my childhood, military vehicles, etc. Now I’m very concentrated on naval modelling My first model is going to be Polaris from Occre. Thanks for accepting me here in this big home. Best regards! VTHokiEE, mtaylor, JeffT and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirvana Posted September 15, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2020 Daniel, a big and warm welcome to MSW. Having the experience of building plastic kits are very helpful as you already have the eye for details. Building a wooden model is different since there are hardly any pre-made parts. However the choice with Polaris is a great start to give you all needed experience to move on. I am looking forward to your build log.

Ryland Craze Posted September 15, 2020 Share #8 Posted September 15, 2020 Welcome to Model Ship World Daniel. The Polaris from OcCre seems to be a good model for a beginner. I believe OcCre has some videos on YouTube with tips on how to build the Polaris. Good luck on your build.
