ExPat Posted June 15, 2023 #1 Posted June 15, 2023 New to Model Ship building, I'm at the sails and rigging stage of my first effort the Artesania Latina Jolly Boat (old version) and I don't think I would have gotten this far without MSW! I'm still looking up technical terms and am gaining a whole new vocabulary as well as watching YouTube videos on how to tie knots! Anyway, thanks to all for the input it's been a fantastic help on this build and I'm already thinking about doing another! Keith Black, Tom E, JeffT and 1 other 4 Quote

allanyed Posted June 16, 2023 #10 Posted June 16, 2023 Not knowing your current name, I'll go with your former, so... Hi Pat 😀 Warm welcome to MSW. I wish I had such a group (and the internet) when I was in torment during the early stages of learning ship modeling. Consider yourself a very lucky guy/gal.
