BurgundyModels Posted September 4 Share #1 Posted September 4 Hello everyone! Relatively new here, and wanted to introduce myself. I live in Wyoming, and have been building models for some years now, but fairly new to wood ship building. I pulled the trigger on my first build this year, the OcCre Polaris, and loved it. There were some ups and downs, but was able to produce a fairly decent build. I got the bug, and after finishing the Polaris, began the OcCre Golden Hind. Also very challenging. I haven't made any build logs yet (I put updates on my website, but not sure if I can post that here), but certainly plan to eventually. Although I'm just saying hello now, I can't stress enough how awesome and useful the build logs and forum posts here are. You guys are incredible, and I'm looking forward to many years of breaking bread and talking boats. Cheers! mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, Baker and 3 others 6 Quote Current Build: Golden Hind - OcCre Completed Builds: Polaris - OcCre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted September 8 Share #11 Posted September 8 Welcome to MSW. The benefits of a build log are that let's all the member see and follow and.... comment without have to go off site. It is also a great way to get help when you need it and also to help others building the same model.
