SiriusVoyager Posted November 26, 2023 #1 Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone. I'm Eric and I have been lurking for a few months. I was a bit overwhelmed by the wealth of information here at first. I tried modeling in my 20's but was way to impatient for it at the time. Now that I am in my 40's, I am still impatient but I think I can slow down enough to do this now. I have built the first to models of the Model Shipways 3 kit series and am just starting the Muscongus bay lobster smack. I wish I would have done a build log for the first two boats. They definitely have flaws but no one would mistake them for airplanes or anything so I am satisfied. The most important thing is that I have learned a lot while building them. I look forward to contributing here in the future!
