JC1113 Posted November 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2020 Beginner modeler here, wishing I’d started years ago as I am so far thoroughly enjoying my project. Working on a Scientific Models Yacht America. Chose this one as I was able to buy several of these same kits on eBay for short money (back up pieces are great peace of mind for a beginner) and it did not look too difficult as the hull comes mostly complete. This forum looks like it will be a huge help and great source of inspiration. ccoyle, JeffT, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryland Craze Posted November 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 17, 2020 Welcome to Model Ship World JC. The Scientific Models Yacht America kit has been around for a long time. This should be a nice build. I am glad you have started a build log so that you can share your progress with us.
