scraig Posted 18 hours ago #1 Posted 18 hours ago Hi! Newbie here. Have previously been a WWII aircraft modeler, but have recently over to ships. My first project will be the 1/350 Trumpeters HMS Naiaid. Any articles about beginning ship builders info, or about the model specifically would be greatly appreciated. Also, am completely lost where to start. Should I start with the hull, or do the super structures first, add guns and hw, and then add to deck and hull.

ccoyle Posted 9 hours ago #8 Posted 9 hours ago Welcome aboard! I can't answer your question, because the last plastic ship I worked on was over forty years ago. But we have a couple of of plastic gurus among our members -- look for the word "plastic" in the build log titles and you'll find them. Cheers!
