Eugenio Treviño Posted September 23, 2020 #1 Posted September 23, 2020 Hi everybody. These six months staying at home encouraged me to retake modeling, a hobby that I abandoned for several years. I have done almost exclusively plastic models. The last one I finished last month is 1992 Nigel Mansell's Williams Renault. I saw him winning Mexico grand prix that year and I bought this Tamiya model around 1995! I also like military models. Pics of some of the recent ones I made are also attached. My first experience with wooden ships was long time ago, when someone gave me this Artesania Latina Swift model. I can tell you that planking this one was like visiting hell 3 times!!! I didn’t know there were wood bending technics and I did it just by applying force, glue a lot of filling material and hours of sanding; and all without proper tools! I was so frustrated after that, that I left it without rigging and decided to never again try a wooden ship. But 10 years later I came back to it, rigged it and finished it. And now I am here with a Corel HMS Victory model with me !!! I will be sharing with you my building log and for sure asking for help when planking this beauty ! Best regards, Eugenio.

Ryland Craze Posted September 29, 2020 #9 Posted September 29, 2020 Welcome to Model Ship World Eugenio. I really like your models and you did a good job on building them. I am glad that you came back and finished your Swift. They say the hardest model to build is your first one, so you should have an easier time building your Victory. I look forward to seeing your Victory build log.
