Thom49 Posted January 9 #1 Posted January 9 Hello everyone. I tired wooden ship modeling a few years ago and got really frustrated, too difficult of a kit for first timer. Recently took the advice to start with a simpler kit and it's now enjoyable. Looking forward to learning from the knowledge and experience of the MSW members.

mtaylor Posted January 13 #14 Posted January 13 Hi Thom. I suggest you start a build log when you're ready to do the kit. It's probably the best way to get help and encouragement when you need it and you'll meet other modelers along the way.
