michelev Posted March 18, 2022 #1 Posted March 18, 2022 Hello, my name is Michele, I live in the rainy North West of the UK. I've always had an interest in models, mainly aircrafts. In 2017 I bought my first boat, the Sloup from Corel and I loved it! It's been a very slow project, with lots of breaks in between. Recently I've managed to progress a bit faster than usual and by searching suggestions and advice on how to build it it's how I came across modelshipworld! I'm looking forward to finally complete this model and to move to next one! Keith Black, mtaylor, Dave_E and 5 others 8 Quote
Keith Black Posted March 18, 2022 #2 Posted March 18, 2022 Michele, welcome to MSW. Hopefully you'll start a build log where we can follow along. I look forward to seeing your work.

Louie da fly Posted March 19, 2022 #12 Posted March 19, 2022 Welcome to MSW, Michele. I'd second Keith's recommendation that you start a build log. The instructions are at https://modelshipworld.com/topic/24707-before-you-post-your-build-log-please-read-this-starting-and-naming-your-build-log/ You'll find this a great way to get help, advice and encouragement. It's quite likely that others have already built this kit and will be able to help you if you hit problems. The other thing you should probably do is to do a search (top right hand corner of this page) for your own model and see if anyone else has built it. Good luck with the build!
