No one makes a perfect ship model on the first try, but hopefully they learn why it is not perfect and do a better job the next time. And we learn new methods and materials as we go, making us better modelers. Don't get you hopes too high. I have been building wooden ship models for at least 60 years, and I am still no where near perfection! But I am learning! This is not reassuring! I'm lucky if I have 30 years 😂. I am a true believer that you never stop learning, so that's no big deal. But I do want a notable model in my lifetime....I better get going on my studies!

There are fathoms of interesting and sidetracking info on here but when I do a direct search it's filled with everything I don't want. Right now I'm attempting to look up making sheets/sails of cloth. I've found some on paper and some on plastic but nothing yet on cloth that helps me...the search continues I'm from Santa Cruz too, I grew up in Capitola BTW!💪 Edited March 16, 2022 by SaltyNinja Valkyrja68, Keith Black and mtaylor 2 1 SaltyNinja's Boat Barn current project: Lowell Grand Banks Dory by SaltyNinja - Model Shipways Shipwrights' Series - 1:24
