Hi from a newby!

Welcome to the forum!  I look forward to seeing your build!

I built some sailing ships when I was a kid, Revell classic kits, the Constitution (the smaller-scale kit), the Golden Hind, and the Mayflower.  I thoroughly enjoyed building those ships.  Today, I'd probably let rigging the ships drive me crazy.

Best regards,

Brad

Yes, mine was the Revell Yach America.  I added weight to it, so it also floated -- but I never blew it up, LOL!!!

Hello and welcome aboard this thing we call the "forum". While ships are not my primary area of effort, I have recently jumped into the water to try a 1/350 WW2 ship for one of our group builds. I have built the Constitution and United States in large scale (Monogram/Revell) many years ago but only to mixed success.

I greatly admire those of you who can master the planking, rigging, or P.E. in scale to come up with some of the stuff i see here. I hope to see your good works soon...

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard.

Sailing ships are #2 on my list of builds as you can tell from my avatar. See you around.

I built my first model ship back in the late 1960s-early 1970s

That's about the same time I built my first sailing ship too ( Revell Spanish Gallion, 1974 I believe. )

I made a "GLORIOUS" mess of the rigging. But it floated, so I called it a sucsess .

( Then I blew it up...... also a sucsess !)

Anyway's , Welcome to FSM.
