Jared Posted August 21, 2021 #1 Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Hello fellow modelers. I look forward to participating in this group as I get back into the hobby after a 9 year "break". I want to finish up my Model Shipways Flying Fish clipper, which is about half finished. Previous builds include the Artesania Latina Charles Morgan whaler, which I essentially scratched built everything from the deck up to make it more true to the original ship's design, and before that, the Artesania Latina Swift 1805. I am a retired microbiologist and am not an active leisureologist who enjoys woodworking, tall ship model building and photography.

mtaylor Posted August 21, 2021 #2 Posted August 21, 2021 Welcome to MSW, Jared. Give some thought to build log on your Flying Fish. Since you're well into it, just do a summation of how you got to this point.

Ryland Craze Posted August 22, 2021 #8 Posted August 22, 2021 Welcome to Model Ship World Jared. Doing a build log on your Flying Fish would allow you to practice your other hobby of photography. I am always trying to improve my photography skills when I take pictures of my model for a build log.

Jared Posted August 22, 2021 Author #9 Posted August 22, 2021 Thanks Ryland. I started a log yesterday.
