Hi everyone,

       I am a long time resin and plastic ship modeler. I haven't built  a wood ship since I was much younger.  Being active duty  it has been just easier to move plastic and resin models. Now that I am nearing retirement I am getting back into wooden ship models. I have been browsing the various forums for quite a while, there is a wealth of knowledge and experience here and I am looking forward to any and all feed back.  

I just finished Model expo's  carronade.  Next on the slip way is  Bluejackets Grand Banks Dory which I am planning to do as a lobster boat (being originally from New England seems fitting).

Welcome to MSW, Chris.  Do feel free to start log for your lobster boat.  It's great way to get help and also meet other builders.

Welcome to MSW Chris.  Thank you very much for your service!!  San Diego....... Navy, Coast Guard or Marines?  I know the other branches are there but these were always predominant in that area when we lived in out there.   Loved going out of H&M landing for albacore or fresh water fishing at Miramar and San Vincente reservoirs.  

 

Hope to see some of your upcoming work on a build log!
