Jolly Jo Posted Thursday at 05:53 PM #1 Posted Thursday at 05:53 PM Ahoy everyone! When I was looking for something I can do quietly after wearisome hours in the store and on dark winter weekends, I decided to build a model ship. The idea was going round in my head for quite some time and in January I finally got started. Why ships? Maybe watching Master and Commander a 100h time or the rebuilt of the classic sailing boat Tally Ho on YouTube/Patreon (I am following and supporting the project for years now) got me into it. Maybe the seed was planted even further back when I visited the Naval Museum in Karlskrona, Sweden, with all it's original ship models from the 18th century, or the Technology Museum in Berlin and its many models of historic ships on display. Anyway, I bought a model that was in the „simple to build“ category without looking to simplistic, the Schooner Newport by Mamoli. Unfortunately, I felt the manual could be better, at least for beginners and was left wondering how to properly plank the hull. As I found a lot of information here and two build logs which helped me through the process, I thought I might as well join the club and contribute my own build. I am looking forward to further browse the forum, learn a lot, get new ideas and hopefully can be of help to the community too. Cheers Joachim Keith Black, DocRob, mtaylor and 5 others 8
