Hello from a new member

Just joined. Now that the kids have been in college  for the last few years I started building ship models as a hobby. Started with De IMG_4420.HEICAgostini Victory. Major for a beginner but the instructions were well done and learnt a lot. Have built their Soleil Royale, Constitution and my favorite, the HMS Surprise. I branched out to Caldercraft and Occre. Glad I did the earlier models as instructions are definitely sparser. I am going to start a build log of my latest start the HMS Diane . From reading the sites, it is definitely an older kit as the instructions are woefully lacking in details for certain things. I attached my 3 recent ships, HMS Agamemnon  and Snake by Caldercraft and Montanes by Occre.

Welcome to MSW, ECK.    Instead of the HEIC format you used, convert to jpg.  HEIC seems to be little used outside of Windows 10.

 Eck, welcome to MSW. I look forward to seeing your build log.

These look beautiful.  Welcome to MSW.  Looks like there are some blocks just hanging out in the last pix.  Still working on it?

Welcome and beautiful model

The last picture was before I finished the running rigging. The completed Agamemnon can be seen next to her sister the HMS Snake. I like Caldercraft as they use the same scale for the models so you get an idea of how the ships would look next to each other  in the 18th century.

Looking good. You should start a build log for this. Do you have any photos of her at earlier stages of construction?

My bad, I posted here by mistake instead of the build log.
