Joseph1137 Posted July 14, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2021 Hello MSW, My name is Joseph. I'm 21 and am from Toronto, Canada. I plan on starting my very first build ever on the Revell USS Constitution 1:146. I've got the kit and tools and just need to figure out the paints and glues. I plan on starting a build log as well to track all the progress. ccoyle, Ryland Craze and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryland Craze Posted July 14, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 14, 2021 Hi Joseph and welcome to Model Ship World. The Constitution by Revell is a nice kit to get started in this hobby.

Louie da fly Posted July 14, 2021 Share #5 Posted July 14, 2021 Welcome to MSW, Joseph! You'll find quite a few plastic models among the build logs, and quite a few Constitutions as well. It's a very popular ship to model. You might find them helpful. Just use the search bar at the top right of this page. And if you have any questions, the build logs might have the answers, and if not, the people here are very happy to help. Don't get intimidated by the quality of some of the builds (as I was when I started). There is a wide range of skills here, from total beginner to acknowledged experts in the field, and every build is a learning experience. Welcome aboard.
