Boerscht Posted August 10, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone at MSW, i am a 28yo from the south of germany, based at lake constance. Normally I go sailing a lot on the lake with my Korsar Class boat and Tornado Katamaran but things changed since I cought LongCovid months ago and can‘t be active at all anymore. Life changed so it is time for new hobbies. In my youth i was freaking out about building Revell models. I did hundreds of them including Bismarck, Cutty Sark, Alexander von Humboldt, aircraft carriers, planes and helicopters. I remembered this in search of new hobbies which don’t need that much body activity. From Revell I wanted to do the next step and go into wooden ship buildings. I really like craftmanship and am an engineer myself. I worked a lot on my wooden Korsar Class sailboat. In research of models i stumbled across MSW and here I am now. The first Kit is already finished. Started with the Mini Mamoli - Goletta Elisabeth witch turned out pretty good. Next up is the Amati Endeavour 1:60. Already did the basics and planking the first hull starts soon. Besides I Just ordered the Krick Optimist 1:10 as a little side project. Looking forward to share the builds with you and get some tips from the pros. Greetings, Boerscht mini Mamoli - Goletta Elisabeth Edited August 10, 2023 by Boerscht rvchima, Mirabell61, Keith Black and 5 others 8 Quote Greetings boerscht ✌🏼 Current build: HMS Beagle - 1:60 - OcCre Finished models: Polaris - 1:50 - OcCre Endeavour J-Class - 1:80 - Amati Bounty boat - 1:24 - OcCre Goletta Elisabeth - 1:122 - Mini Mamoli Optimist Dinghy - 1:10 - Krick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_H Posted August 11, 2023 Share #9 Posted August 11, 2023 Welcome! Lake Constance is a fabulous place . A friend and I did the bike ride around it the summer before Covid - fabulous scenery, villages and food. Some beer too. Really sorry to hear you have had the long version, but given time, you will get better. And in the meantime - build models! I'm and engineer, too, and I had a great time working on my Snake model - plenty of geometry to do, especially after I bought a Proxxon milling machine! Cheers MIke Boerscht, Keith Black and mtaylor 3 Quote Current Build: HMS Alert - Vanguard Models Completed: Endeavour's Longboat - Artesania Latina HMS Snake - Caldercraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
