Returning to the fold

[Mart]

Hi 

I am returning to ship building, plastic that is not wood although I've had so thoughts of late. I have not done a ship model in over 20 years I stick mostly to 1:35 armour, cars and motorcycles. I have started the trumpeter 1:350 USS Independence LCS  and all is going well at the moment. anyway nice to be on the forum and I'm sure I will pick alot of brains as I learn new things.

Welcome to MSW. Yes, do start a build log.

I would like to start a build log, maybe next ship my children are on holidays at the moment so i don't have alot of time to build.

Welcome to MSW, Mart.   Give some thought to starting a log anyway.   We have lots of long term builds because life gets in the way.

I agree with Mark.  Don't feel bad if you have delays.  I have a work in process log from 2008; I've got to be the recordholder in that respect.

 

Also, check out the builds by RGL.  He also works in 1:350 plastic, and shows fantastic weathering techniques.

ok I will try and start a build log, I have alot of questions on weathering and this ship has no waterline and I don't  even know how to go about marking it, especially a catamaran so the log would help with my questions.
