Phez Posted January 26, 2024 #1 Posted January 26, 2024 Hi everyone. I found my way here upon after it was recommended by several people on the ModelShips subreddit. I started the Skiff kit from Midwest a few weeks ago and I’m happy with my progress so far. I just finished fairing the frame and bottom plank. I’ve had some glue incidents but nothing that can’t be fixed (or covered up). Glad to be here. Thukydides, Keith Black, allanyed and 4 others 7
