aaronc Posted November 14, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Gentlemen I'm not getting any younger so here we go. I have had my eye on the little whaling boat for a while now...but ran into this the other night here on the forum. After taking a closer look I decided it was the place to start for me. I know it's simple but I love the lines of this little boat, and for the $$ it was a no brainer. It came in yesterday. I had time this afternoon to do an initial unboxing. It was well packaged, no damage, and came with a parts list with a date the kit was made....signed by Miroslava. I like that, When I saw one of the build logs here of the kit I did some googling to see what I could find out about the subject matter. That's what peaked my interest and firmed up my decision. I'm sure all of you guys are aware but here is the link. I'll be posting progress. Thanks for looking.

Diver Posted November 15, 2023 Share #3 Posted November 15, 2023 I look forward to following your build. My first build is the Syren Medway longboat and it has been a very challenging build. I wish I had started a build like yours to learn the skill set this hobby requires.
