Jim Lad Posted February 11, 2022 #31 Posted February 11, 2022 Been a while since I looked in, Melissa. She's looking very nice indeed. John
Melissa T. Posted February 13, 2022 Author #32 Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) And just like that, my dory was done. I learned a lot from this experience, both in terms of basic modeling skills as well as nautical terms. BlueJacket’s Swampscott Dory is an excellent beginner’s kit, as advertised, and I would highly recommend it to anyone just starting out. This will conclude my build log!

VTHokiEE Posted February 13, 2022 #34 Posted February 13, 2022 You did a great job (and I still really like that blue). Looking forward to seeing whatever you tackle next.

Melissa T. Posted February 13, 2022 Author #35 Posted February 13, 2022 Thank you! As I wrote earlier, this is a wonderful hobby, and MSW is a terrific, supportive resource. Next up is Kolderstok’s Statenjacht. Will definitely be a challenge, but I have a historical interest in the Dutch Golden Age so I’m highly motivated. VTHokiEE, Ryland Craze and *Hans* 3 Melissa T.

Melissa T. Posted February 13, 2022 Author #37 Posted February 13, 2022 Thank you - it’s a hunky dory 😉. Not of Dutch ancestry personally, but have studied New Netherland pretty extensively since living here as well as what was going on in the Dutch Republic. The Half Moon is definitely on my list, but it’s too complex for my skills at this point. Chose one of Kolderstok’s easier models instead. Melissa T.
