Hello everyone,

 

My name is Jesse.  I'm from Maryland, USA.  I just signed up for the forum.  I've been reading posts here for a couple of months and decided to join.

 

I'm currently working on Model Shipway's Taurus.  I've finished the hull and mounted it.  Hopefully, I'll start a new topic and post some pictures. 

 

Over the past couple of years, I've completed about a half dozen Midwest Products kits.  Sadly, they no longer make them.  I've also completed Artesania Latina's Swift.  Most of my modelling background though has been plastic models, primarily armor.  I've been heavily modelling since '98.

 

As I make the transition to wood model ships, I'm really looking forward to participating in this great forum.

 

- Jesse

Welcome Jesse! There is a wealth of information and specialized knowledge here. This is matched by very amenable and helpful members. There are members here who build in both plastic and wood. You might be surprised by some of the "crossover" skills between the two disparate sides of the model making hobby!

 

Jump right in; the water's fine.😁

Welcome Jesse.

As you are in Maryland, would you mind taking a run over to Preble Hall and shoot several hundred close up photos for me?    KIDDING.   I am glad to have left the northeast but I do miss some things like being able to get to Preble with a few hour drive,  St Michaels, the seaport in Baltimore, best crab cakes in the world, oysters to die for.....  Maryland is a GOOD place to be.  Again, welcome to MSW.

Welcome to the forum.  You will find a wealth of information here with many who are eager to help with any questions you have. Although I now live in Ohio I grew up in Baltimore and having the inner harbor area ships as well as one of the worlds greatest collection of model ships in Annapolis is wonderful inspiration.
