Phez Posted January 26 Share #1 Posted January 26 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.

I actually found out about that series—and the promo they were running for site credit—right after I bought the skiff. I may move to that next.
