jonstable Posted October 11, 2022 #1 Posted October 11, 2022 Hi everybody and greetings from Ontario, CAD (I’ve seen a few other Canucks round these parts). Almost brand new to building model ships, I finished my first build, Occre’s Polaris, a few weeks back which seemed like a balanced introduction to various fundamentals, though there were certainly some hard lessons… I’ll get that bow planking right this time round, now that I’ve done some real homework…oh, and found out what fairing a hull means…*sigh* But for a first timer I’m happy with the final product Next up, The Terror… be “seeing” you all around! bruce d, mtaylor, Dave_E and 5 others 8 Quote
Ryland Craze Posted October 11, 2022 #2 Posted October 11, 2022 Hi Jon and welcome to Model Ship World. Congratulations on finishing your Polaris. You did a good job on building this model and it came out very nice. I hope you start a build log on your Terror so we can follow your progress. mtaylor, Dave_E and Keith Black 3 Quote Ryland Member - Hampton Roads Ship Model Society - Ship Model Society of New Jersey - Nautical Research Guild Current Build - Armed Virginia Sloop, 18th Century Longboat Completed Build - Medway Longboat
