allanyed Posted September 8, 2023 #3 Posted September 8, 2023 Welcome Chris!! There is no shortage of help and encouragement here at MSW on your journey into the world of wooden ships. When you say take the plunge, have you ever built a wooden ship model? There are a lot of posts here on models with which to start and those to avoid for newbies. Study and ask questions even before you buy. Caveat emptor applies even in our hobby.
