mark.bukovich Posted February 22, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone! Here is my official fist post in the forum. I'm very happy to be here! I am definitely a beginner at ship/boat modeling. I'm currently working on my first model: a Chesapeake Bay Flattie kit by Midwest Products (no longer in production) I plan to post a build log. I have already significantly benefited from reading through other members' build logs. I've attached a picture of the current state of the boat. (Note: I haven't glued down the companion way hatches. Just placing to see how it looks) Edited February 22, 2022 by mark.bukovich Grey, ccoyle, Adam54 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
