Louie da fly Posted January 14, 2022 #9 Posted January 14, 2022 Hi Pirate, and welcome to MSW from sunny Ballarat in Oz. You'll find a wooden model is very different from plastic - a lot more to do than just glue two halves of a hull together, though the masts and rigging are very much the same. But with your woodworking skills I'm sure you'll do fine. Steven Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
