Hi from a new member and modeller. I have just attempted and finally finished the Sultan Arab Dhow from Artesania Latina. Have to say I'm very happy with outcome. Now about to tackle the Cazador Xebec and the HMS Fly any words of wisdom will be very gratefully received.

Hallo Gary,
and a warm welcome here on board of SOS
Start a building log of your actual project and we are happy to comment, help, assist and what´so ever .......
 
Thank you Uwek. Mmm the thought of a build log terrifies me but if it helps especially when it comes to the rigging. I may just start one
 
Welcome Gary. Nice job on your project. No need to be terrified here. We are one big family, beginners to model makers I dream of becoming. All support and help when they can, but most of all you get incurragment to do your best and enjoy the hobby.
 
Hy Gary, and Welcome aboard! looks like we will have another skilled modeller. Once you start your own log, I will follow. I am also new to our forum. :cool:
 
Hi everyone
I got very excited earlier when the Cazador Xebec arrived. But unfortunately it will be going back as most of the wood and all of the planking was missing. So looks like I will be studying others boat builds even more now

Bad news ..... I am more often surprised, what happened to a kit, that several parts are missing - usually a kit manufacturer should have a quality control before a kit left to a retailer...... Hope, that you get asap a spare kit

Greetings and Salutations..!!
A warm, neighborly welcome to the SOS forum.!!
You really should start a build log. Really, you should.!! Besides posting lots of pictures, you'll have a ready source of information and lots of builders looking over your shoulder.!! Win-win............Win.! Of course the real reason is if/when you need to ask a question, everyone will already be up to date with where you are in the build..... Or, if they're not, the build history is right there. Makes it a LOT easier.!!

Again, welcome.
 
Welcome aboard. This is a great place to come to if you have questions about anything that you're building. Many very helpful people here. A build log is nothing to be afraid of, and is a great way to point out where you are having problems.
