Tyguy35 Posted December 11, 2023 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2023 Hey, I have actually been browsing this forum for quite some time but have never introduced myself. My name is Tyler, I live in Canada and am currently getting to the end of my first build the Occre Polaris. I am hoping to move on to a frigate next then the montanes also by Occre. I do currently have Occres Diana waiting to be build but after seeing other builds and how low the gallery is compared to the gun deck it throws me off quite a bit. Anyone have any suggestions on other frigates. How is AL’s Hermione? I think my biggest problem when ship building is planking the hull. Understanding how to do it correctly and efficiently. Look forward to learning from all you on this forum. Have a good one. Tyler JeffT, ccoyle, SiriusVoyager and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted December 11, 2023 Share #2 Posted December 11, 2023 Welcome aboard, Tyler. You will find plenty of resources on this site. There are tutorials on planking, for instance. (More > Planking techniques) Check out other build logs and then start one of your own.
