JoeMacD Posted February 9, 2023 #1 Posted February 9, 2023 Ok well here goes my first post of my build on Model Ship World of the Model Shipways GRAND BANKS DORY! although the boat is completed, I'll start from photo one to the finished picture. I wound up purchasing a small table saw getting hyped up with the building! Prowler901, Tom E, Kelp and 9 others 12 Quote
druxey Posted February 9, 2023 #2 Posted February 9, 2023 That is one serious vintage tape dispenser! Nicely done model - you are not really a total beginner, as evidenced by the background airframe and aircraft.

robert952 Posted February 10, 2023 #3 Posted February 10, 2023 Nice finished build. Very well done. I look forward to Part 2 of the series (The Sailing Pram). I got these three as Christmas present. I find the various build logs very helpful to give me a preview of the processes involved.

BishopE Posted March 2, 2023 #5 Posted March 2, 2023 This is a really nice pictoral capture of the project. I've just started mine and come back here frequently to see tips and tricks in the forum. This is my first model (the dory). I purchased the 3 boat kit from Model Shipways as an incentive to moving forward on more ambitious models in the future. Been chipping away at the dory slowly, really trying to learn as I go. Thanks for the inspiration. JoeMacD 1 Quote
