Eli B Posted Sunday at 04:40 AM #1 Posted Sunday at 04:40 AM Hello everyone. My name is Eli, and I've been building boats for 6 years. I just finished making Occre's HMS Endurance, and I'm going to start a USS Constitution sometime soon. I'm thinking of making a building log, and I'm curious to hear any feedback or thoughts on how to make one. Also, I was wondering if anyone here can show me any resources for learning what every feature/deck detail is on the Endurance. I love naval history, I'm enjoying building boats, and I'm curious to see how far I can go. Nice to meet you all! Cabbie, Snug Harbor Johnny, Baker and 8 others 11

RVB Posted Monday at 11:16 PM #10 Posted Monday at 11:16 PM As said many times a warm WELCOME to MSW. With your past history modeling ships you found the right place to drop anchor (MSW). Having a log and participation is enjoyable. Nice build. Best Rick Keith Black 1
Wawona59 Posted yesterday at 07:28 AM #11 Posted yesterday at 07:28 AM Welcome to Model Ship World Eli. Very nice model of the Endurance. There are no hard and fast rules on what goes into a build log. It's really up to the modeler. Most build logs begin with a brief history of the ship. Many then provide a brief description of the kit with several photographs of the kit contents and perhaps your first impression of the kit. Subsequent build posts could include build steps, any challenges you faced and how you addressed them. The most effective logs include several photographs of your build process. There are no deadlines for your log. Just post your progress when you are ready. This not a job. We do this for fun and enjoyment.
