TK 5028 Posted February 8, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2021 Hello. Thanks for letting me join. Ive been wanting to build a wood ship since I seen my first kit when I was 10 over 50 years ago. I've been building plastic models, mostly tanks and dioramas including the Constitution. Now its time to try the real thing. mtaylor, GuntherMT, Keithbrad80 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK 5028 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted February 9, 2021 Thanks everyone. I've already chose and ordered a kit. Its small, due to my apartment size, but think it will help with most aspects of learning. bruce d and mtaylor 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
