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! JeffT, Keith Black, Tom E and 1 other 4
