MarkS Posted January 3, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2022 Hi everyone. This is my very first build with wooden ships eve. My model expirence with plastic cars when I was a kid was extreamly limited. I'll post each step along with pics of my learning. I hope everyone enjoy this and learns from my mistakes.

Ryland Craze Posted January 3, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 3, 2022 This is an great kit for the first time wooden ship modeler. There are some excellent build logs of this kit that you can reference for your build. I look forward to following your progress.

MarkS Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted January 8, 2022 Well I'm not off to a great start. I've been sick for the past few days and didn't want to work on the boat until I felt better. So far I have managed to bust 2 of the frames, they are so fragile. I got some new wood and have been trying to learn how to cut new pieces out of the wood and shaping it so down the road it will be easier. I managed to break the stern holder in half.... ooops.... I got a new piece of wood ow wood, traced and cut out a new piece and fixed that. At about the time I fixed that, the hull section got knocked and the stern piece snapped off.. uuurrgghhh I want to scream Once I get things squared away I'll take some pics.... Mark.
