Johannsss Posted March 18 Share #1 Posted March 18 Hi, I'm a Computer Engineering student with a passion for scale models of any type. I always have wanted to do a model ship and decided to give it a try, and ended up finding this page after asking about a ship in r/Modelships.

Cathead Posted March 18 Share #10 Posted March 18 Bienvenido a MSW! I spent a fair amount of time in Chile in 2018 and wrote up a thread on all my maritime explorations. Nothing you probably don't already know but you might enjoy seeing an outsider's perspective. The best advice I can give is to start with something simple and build your skills from there. If you get in over your head it can do more harm than good. The complex dream models will still be there when you're ready for them.

allanyed Posted March 19 Share #11 Posted March 19 Welcome to MSW Johann. I have fond memories of Chile, especially Valparaiso, for the fishing, the Casino de Vina del Mar and other fun stuff.
