kgstakes Posted September 30, 2023 #1 Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone I’ve been building models for many years mostly model railroad structures and things. Also have scratch built some 1:12 and 1:8 scale horse drawn vehicles. Basically saying have some modeling experience. Ship building is a whole different ball game with all the rigging the names of different items etc. my first model of any thing water related was a strip canoe which was a kit but had allot of fun doing it. Thought I would try another model and decided on the Mississippi Riverboat by OcCre. Looks like a challenge and good winter project. I’m talking to much but hope to have many conversations with many of you as I built the River boat. Edited September 30, 2023 by kgstakes mtaylor, Keith Black, Baker and 5 others 8 Quote

mtaylor Posted September 30, 2023 #4 Posted September 30, 2023 Welcome to MSW. When you're ready to start the model, open a build log in the appropriate area. It's a great way to get help and meet other builders. Also, do a search in the kit area for the "era" of that model and see if there's any logs for it. I'm sure that there are.

Thukydides Posted October 1, 2023 #7 Posted October 1, 2023 Welcome to MSW, as Mark suggested, one of the best ways to connect with other builders and to get help on your journey is to start a build log. mtaylor, Keith Black and Old Collingwood 3 Quote Current Builds: HMS Perseus (Scratch) Completed Builds: Type VII C U Boat (HobbyBoss); HM Cutter Alert (Vanguard Models)
