Buckstrong Posted July 18, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2023 Hello to all. My name is Geoff and I have been lurking here for several months. I just completed my first ship model, Drakkar by Amati. I didn't want to post anything while building it for fear of the curse that plagues many first timers, the Abandoned Ship Model. I'd like to thank everyone who has built this model and posted a build log. It was extremely helpful. I took pictures throughout my process and will post them later (I'm guessing in the Finished section). Thanks again.

Wawona59 Posted July 18, 2023 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2023 Hi Geoff, Welcome to MSW. This is a great forum for ship modelers and modelers in general. I've learned so much from the more experienced modelers in the group as well as the discussions on ship modeling techniques plans, research etc. Everyone has been extremely helpful and encouraging. I hope to see some of your work in a future post or build log. Welcome Aboard!!
