Reece Posted January 23, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2022 Hi everyone, I'm Reece. I joined back in September but have finally gotten around to posting a build log and adding some meat to this introduction. I completed my first build - the Lowell Grand Banks Dory by Model Shipways in 1/24. I had a lot of fun building it and cant wait to move on to the next in Model Shipways' Model Shipwright series. Here's the build log. I'm a software developer by trade and some of my other hobbies include backpacking, woodworking, and other scale models (1/12 motorcycles, a few planes). I try to get out from behind the screen as much as possible. A lot of the work I've seen on this site is really great and I can't wait to learn from you all.
