Spahi Posted July 31, 2023 #1 Posted July 31, 2023 Hello everyone, I'm a 70 year old "Froggy", just "evacuated" to Ireland, I don't build model ships and don't plan to build any... bad start, right? On the other hand, I love to admire the technique of those who know how to build ships, and I am particularly interested in the Navy of the 18th century, during the American Revolutionary War. Thanks for accepting me here! Thierry Keith Black, ccoyle, JeffT and 2 others 5

It's totally ok to just sit on the sidelines and watch. There's a lot to be learnt from many of the build logs, as well as the discussions in the other parts of the forum. I'd particularly recommend the sub-section "Discussions for Ships plans and Project Research. General research on specific vessels and ship types.."
