Revenue Cutter by Duck-Rabbit - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - 1:48 - Ensign Kit - First Build

[Duck-Rabbit]

Hello all! This is not only my first post or build log but also my first foray into the world of model ship building. Long story short, I’ve been talking about wanting to try it out for awhile now but was too intimidated to pull the trigger and get started. Eventually, my partner got tired of my talking about it but not doing anything and surprised me with the Bluejacket Revenue Cutter Ensign Kit for my birthday last month!

I’m incredibly excited to get working in earnest but have been intimidated by it and haven’t made much progress beyond building the stand and cutting out all the templates. I know this might be a bit ambitious of a build for my first attempt but at this point I just want to start actually trying and hopefully posting on here will allow me to get some pointers when I inevitably get stuck.

 

Anyway, I’ve included some pictures of the kit and where I am right now but like I said not much has been done. Going to go slow and pray I don’t mess things up ~too badly~.
