Mike905603 Posted December 9, 2024 #1 Posted December 9, 2024 Hello all and thank you for accepting me into the MSW community. I've recently started in the world of wooden model ships after conversations with a work colleague who has been in the hobby for some time. Not wanting to overstretch myself I've started with Billings Boats Henriette Marie. Billings aren't the most detailed when it comes to instructions, but this has led me to dig deeper into how the real life counterpart is designed and It's been an enjoyable challenge so far learning about pilot cutters as well as methods of planking and decking. I'll get round to adding my work so far in a build log and welcome any feedback offered. I've not seen many other build logs of this particular model so hopefully it will be of interest to some. Thanks again all Mike ccoyle, vossiewulf, JacquesCousteau and 3 others 6
