Thukydides Posted May 21 Share #2 Posted May 21 Welcome to msw. I also came from the plastic modeling world. I would encourage you to open a build log so you can document your progress and others can encourage/assist you along the way.

Wawona59 Posted May 22 Share #13 Posted May 22 A very warm welcome to Model Ship World! I too started modeling in the plastic arena. I've since sold most of my kits and given away the majority of my built plastic models. I now build primarily in wood. I find it a more enjoyable medium to work in. Welcome Aboard!
