Peregrinator Posted April 23, 2022 #1 Posted April 23, 2022 Hello all, I have just re-registered on MSW. I used to use this site many years ago when it was run by Chuck - I think it was around 2009 when I had to take a hiatus from my first and only build - Caldercraft's HMS Cruiser. At that time IIRC the MSW had a server change and many build logs were lost (mine included 😢). I had just moved from Sydney to Connecticut. A completed hull was boxed away, and due to many reasons, mainly work related but also available space in our house in CT, I never restarted the build and my MSW membership was lost. The poor unfinished Cruiser languished in that box for 8 years, when we upped sticks again and moved to Santiago, Chile, to an apartment with even less space. A further 4 years passed. However, some good news finally, we have just moved out of Santiago to the suburbs and a house with room to swing 2 ship's cats. The box has been re-opened, new supplies have been bought and the build is back on! So, greetings to all, I am happy to see the MSW is still alive and kicking. I haven't decided if I will start a build log, but for sure I will be looking at others' as I am a little rusty and I know the resources here will be of immense use me. I'm also looking forward to seeing if I can recognize any usernames from 15 years+ ago 😉 Peanut6, Keith Black, MateuszPL and 5 others 8 Current build HMS Cruiser - Caldercraft - 1:64
mtaylor Posted April 23, 2022 #2 Posted April 23, 2022 Welcome back Peregrinator. Been a few changes since you were last here but nothing too radical I hope. Do give some thought to the log. You'll make new friends and also get advice when needed.

Peanut6 Posted April 23, 2022 #3 Posted April 23, 2022 Welcome aboard. I strongly suggest a build log, even it's a "well this is where I'm at now". No better way to share your work and it does make it easier for those to help you, if you do ever need help. Your hiatus was a little bit longer than mine. But I'm back it and I believe I see the end coming on this build. I was lucky and still had all the dialog and photos that were lost during "The Great Crash" so I was able to recreate my build log. mtaylor, CDR_Ret and Keith Black 3 Take care and be safe. kev Current Build: HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat - Artesania Latina On the shelf: Oseberg #518 - Billing Boats
