Hi from Spain.

[Steve47]

Hi, I’m Steve47 living near Alicante, Spain but originally from UK. I have recently completed La Flore from Constructo after a four year slog on an off and more recently a loco….. Jupiter from OcCre which I completed in a couple of months. Yesterday, I took delivery of Gorch Fock, also from OcCre, but it remains in the box until I receive my Hobby Zone professional building slip to ease the build. Based on the length if time it took me to complete La Flore, I’m setting aside 6 years for Gorch Fock. Lol!

I have read with interest Mike Hunt’s account of his build of the GF and will continue to follow his progress. I’m sure there are other accounts of this build but as yet, I haven’t had chance to dig into the forum’s posts. It’s good to be here amongst you fellow model shipbuilders and look forward to sharing my model building experiences with anyone who’s interested.

Welcome to MSW, Steve.  By all means, do a log.  It's probably the best way to meet others and also get help. And do try to have some fun.   Model building should be fun and relaxing and not stressful.

 

As for other logs... two ways to make searching easier.  The first is to go here and https://modelshipworld.com/forum/130-build-logs-for-ship-model-kits-by-era-launch-date/ look at the top pinned post... it's an index by ship name but a bit behind on being up to date.. 

 

The other way is to have a look here that sorted first by manufacturer.....  https://modelshipworld.com/forum/150-index-of-all-kits-by-brand-and-subject/

 

Or you can just search for the ship name and drill down using settings for "title only".

 Steve, welcome to MSW. The Gorch Fock is a beautiful ship, I look forward to seeing your work. 

[Steve47]

Thank you both for your kind welcomes.

Welcome aboard Steve!  Living in Alicante must be super if it is anything at all like I remember it.  It was my first ever foreign port of call in 1966 while serving aboard as a cadet on the SS Brasil.   Good times!!
