Stama Posted April 17, 2021 #1 Posted April 17, 2021 Good day to all, I am captain on chemical tanker and in my free time at home I start to build ship models. I am new in wood working as b4 I used to build only plastic models. I am excited to learn some new things and techniques to be successful in ship model world.

mtaylor Posted April 17, 2021 #4 Posted April 17, 2021 Welcome to MSW, Stama. When you've decided on a model and get started, open a build log in the appropriate area. It's a great way to meet other modelers and also to get help when needed.
