P.Raveneau Posted October 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) HI everyone , As the title said , i have almost no experience in modeling ( did a bit of warhammer in my youth) except one starwars AT ST from a year ago ( my first model kit ) I fell in love with ship building through internet , and wanted to give it a go. BUT experience of being a compulsive passionate person tells me that if i start with a wooden ship i would be in over my head and won't finish it . So i started with the Zvezda Blackpearl 1:72 , it's challenging but i am having a lot of fun so far , mostly with customization . As i am really new to shipwright , i realize that i could really need some advices here and there I will be setting up a Build log , even though i am a bit advanced in the build Thanks a lot , looking forward to start interacting with you people Build log : https://modelshipworld.com/topic/26161-zvezda-blackpearl-172/ Edited October 29, 2020 by P.Raveneau AON, mtaylor, Dean77 and 5 others 8 Quote Current build : Zvezda Blackpearl 1:72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
