TrueNorth Posted August 12, 2021 #1 Posted August 12, 2021 I’m new to ship modeling. I’m starting a 1/75 scale POB Bluenose. I see many beautiful builds, including the POF Blunenose on this forum. I hope (with any luck) to be a fraction as as good as many of you. Ryland Craze, mtaylor, JeffT and 5 others 8 Quote
mtaylor Posted August 12, 2021 #2 Posted August 12, 2021 Welcome to MSW, TrueNorth. When you're ready, do start a build log as it'll be a great way to share your experience, get advice, and meet other builders. BTW, is there a name we can address you by other than your screen name? And tell us where you are as there are probably members or possibly a club near you.

Ryland Craze Posted August 12, 2021 #4 Posted August 12, 2021 Hi Nick and welcome to Model Ship World. I hope you do start a build log so we can follow your progress. The Bluenose is a beautiful ship. You should check out Frank Mastini's book Ship Modeling Simplified. It was my first book about ship modeling and it is the book that got me hooked on this hobby. It is about building a model of the Bluenose.
