Captain Vytautas Posted September 29 Share #1 Posted September 29 Hello, modelers around the world! I am a new builder from a small and beautiful country - Lithuania. Looking forward to this hobby as it seems calming and interesting, especially for long and dark evenings that are right around the corner in autumn. Some time ago I bought my first ship model kit - Polaris by Occre. I have started building it, but then, of course, the lack of time kicked in. Now I feel that I have more time, also my big new work table is on the way to my house, so I want to continue my build. I have photos from the beginning of the building and also I have lots of questions so I am going to start the build log. Hope to receive the feedback!

It was a nice way to communicate in the forum with like-minded people, but nowadays social networks, like Facebook or Instagram, are filled with toxicity and hate. This is why a forum feels nostalgic for me. On 9/30/2024 at 11:15 AM, Nirvana said: Vytautas, my warmest welcome to MSW!
