JacquesCousteau Posted June 4, 2023 Share #1 Posted June 4, 2023 Hi there, I'm a little late posting here--I recently started the Model Shipways Dory and already began my build log, linked below--but realized I should properly introduce myself. From a young age, I was fascinated by sailing ships, and even whittled quite a few tiny models and did a fair bit of simple woodworking. Recently, taking a drawing class reminded me of how much I enjoy making things by hand (while I enjoy cooking, it doesn't quite scratch the same itch), while a visit to the Maritime Museum of Barcelona rekindled a long-dormant interest. I started thinking about taking up model-building again, and found this forum, where I read a number of build logs. So many people have posted such amazing builds here, and I have a lot to learn from them. I'm mainly interested in smaller, simpler models, at least for now. I'll have to move repeatedly over the next few years for work, so anything too difficult to pack up is off the table. I'd like to develop my skills enough to make a traditional Catalonian fishing vessel (a laud or barca palangrera) like the ones I saw in Barcelona.
