Cheers from Brazil


Recommended Posts

Hello good sirs,

 

20 year old law student from Brazil who spends his internship money on ships, that describes it. But really, I love the craftsmanship, the preciseness, the small little parts about scale modelling.

 

My first attempt at it was actually plastic modelling, but I didn't have the proper tools, parts got broken, parts got not neat enough, I got frustrated by how my model was coming along. And well, one can't really replace complex plastic parts, I'm a make 4 version of the same thing untill it's good kinda guy, and plastic didn't give me that oppotunity.  Also, plastic modelling is mostly about painting I feel like, layers and layers of weathering, complex masking, varnish, decals, more varnish, more weathering. I came to the conclusion that I like the building part of it, not so much the painting, and, let's be honest, wooden ship models are much more elegant.

 

So, here I am, my first wooden model arrived last month, and I'm figuring it out slowly, reading a lot, watching a lot of tutorials, and planning a lot. It's build thread is up by the way, help me out: 

 

Photography is the other hobby of mine, and throrought 8 years, even a little more, I've gone to some amazing places and seen incredible creatures persuing those great clicks. In case you are interested: Arthur Goulart (@arthurmgoulart). It's South America wildlife. Just a word of caution, I'm a lazy editor and an even lazier instagrammer.

 

Anyways, happy to be part of this amazing community. I've been following the forum for a while, it was about time I got in.

Hi Arthur and welcome to Model Ship World.  A lot of our members are into photography and it helps when you put pictures in your build log.  Good luck on your Bluenose.
