Sub, I didn't mean to discourage you.  It's intimidating out of the box.  I lack the confidence that you have and I admire you for that.  I'm a pessimist.  I love ship modeling and after reading your note to me maybe I will attempt it in the future.  You will be my inspiration.  I have been to Mystic as well as Boston.  I was on the Connie. It was breath taking.  When I was a little guy many years ago I lived in Portland Maine and Portsmouth N.H.  I now call Northeast Pa home. 

I'm a little more cocky than I've probably a right to be, so no worries! My dad is also a pessimist, but I try to encourage him by overshadowing his pessimism, with my realism 🙂 I tried to get him to engage in this hobby, but he just wouldn't have it. He said his hands shake a bit too much now for detail work and he said that he doesn't have the patience that he used to. However, he is enjoying watching my progress. I'd be happy if I could inspire you - my Swift build log is here - 1805 Swift --> https://modelshipworld.com/topic/31399-swift-1805-by-subaron-artesania-latina-150-2016-kit-version/ 

 

Cheers, and hope to see a build log soon! 🙂
