Andreas Weber Posted Sunday at 06:18 PM #1 Posted Sunday at 06:18 PM Hi there, I recently started building wooden ship, but have been building models (mostly plastic) since I was a kid (with a big break between my 20s to 50s). Main reason for me starting, is that I am about to retire soon, and felt that this hobby would be great for me, despite some challenges, I am blind in one eye, which sometimes makes it harder to do things like rigging, as you can imagine. I have started with what I believe is a fairly simple and easy model (Virginia Schooner from Artesiana Latina), I have already tried to do some modifications of my own, which I thoroughly enjoy doing! I am initially intending to use this website more as a guide to help me overcome my mistakes (yes, I’ve made a lot). I am soon to stat the rigging, which I believe will be my biggest challenge, but I think this model should be a good introduction, I don’t believe it is too complicated. Thank you for accepting me to this forum, I am looking forward to learn a lot Andreas GrandpaPhil, Thukydides, Keith Black and 3 others 6
