Just a quick hello from Colorado.
I am just starting my wooden ship building journey. I have been building plastic car models since about 1965. Over all of the years since, I have built cars, trucks, planes, buildings, Estes rockets, model railroads, go carts, etc...... Never have I ever built a wooden model ship or boat.
Been lurking here for a few years and always admired the skill and effort that went into some of the more elaborate kits other members have shared. I am in awe of what you guys can do. So, early this summer I decided to jump in after I found the Lowell Grand Banks Dory beginners kit from Model Shipways. I mean I gotta start somewhere and at sometime before I pass onto the next astral plane. I'm about 1/3 the way through and happy with the results and having fun while I'm at it. Looking froward to getting this done so I can start my next build - yet to be decided.
Thanks again to the Mods for the admission.
