Boats Sully Posted August 18, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 18, 2021 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).

allanyed Posted August 18, 2021 Share #7 Posted August 18, 2021 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!
