dcnpat Posted February 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2021 I have been building other simple models and decided it was time to pursue a life long dream of building a realistic ship model. My ultimate goal is to build a large ship with multiple masts and extensive rigging but I knew it was wise to start off simple so I have the Palamos Spanish Fishing Boat on order from Premier Ship Models. Even though I have a lot to learn and skills to develop, I'm excited to finally pursue this dream. The boat won't be here for a couple of weeks but I am very open to any advice or mentor suggestions. I'm really looking forward to this journey and making friends along the way. Pat Keith Black, mtaylor, Geowolf and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted February 22, 2021 Share #6 Posted February 22, 2021 Welcome to MSW, Pat. Looks like we have a few logs of that kit here on MSW. I suggest that when your model arrives, that you open a log in the Kit Log area. It's the best way to get help and meet other builders.

Louie da fly Posted February 22, 2021 Share #7 Posted February 22, 2021 Hi, Pat, and welcome to MSW. I agree with Bruce and Mark that you should start a build log when you begin your model. It's a very good way to get help and advice - and encouragement from the other members here. The instructions are at https://modelshipworld.com/topic/24705-before-you-post-your-build-log-please-read-this-starting-and-naming-your-build-log/ Welcome aboard!

Keith Black Posted February 23, 2021 Share #8 Posted February 23, 2021 Pat, welcome to MSW. This past weeks events in Texas make me glad my ship sailed from that part of the world ( Midway and George Bush) years ago. I hope you and yours are fairing well in light of the difficult conditions faced by so many in Texas. mtaylor 1 Quote Current Builds: Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
