mrt88 Posted September 23, 2021 #1 Posted September 23, 2021 Hi all, New to the forum and totally new to wooden ship building. I have been modelling since I was very young but never built a wooden ship before. bought the lady nelson kit and very excited to get started. The instructions are very basic so hopefully I will learn allot here thanks all mtaylor, Keith Black, ccoyle and 1 other 4 Quote
mtaylor Posted September 23, 2021 #2 Posted September 23, 2021 Welcome to MSW. I would suggest you look in the kit build area (there's an index at the top of the page) and use them as a reference also. Also, open your own log as it's a great way to get help and meet others.

bruce d Posted September 23, 2021 #4 Posted September 23, 2021 mrt88, welcome to MSW from Sussex. It is a great place to get ideas and advice, especially if you put up a build log on a popular subject like LN. May I suggest you post a bit about yourself in the new members intro thread?
