Johannsss Posted March 18, 2024 #1 Posted March 18, 2024 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. JacquesCousteau, AJohnson, KevinR and 6 others 9

Cathead Posted March 18, 2024 #10 Posted March 18, 2024 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.
