After 15 years, I am finally getting started on making my own wooden ship models. I grew up seeing the kits that my grandpa had made during his retirement, and I fell in love with them. I finally have the time and money to try making a few of my own. I'm starting off with Mamoli's Black Prince to learn planking and rigging. Once I know what I'm doing and feeling confident in my abilities, I'll start OcCre's Terror. Hopefully, the skills I learned from plastic models and general woodworking will help with the new hobby. I've spent the last month or so reading through build logs on here while acquiring tools and the kits. Everyone here seems very friendly and helpful!

Hi Bromley,

Welcome. I love that your grandpa inspired you. I'm trying to do the same thing just one generation later. Where in Illinois?

Super welcome to SoS. It is great to see a youngster like yourself join the group!!
There are many posts here at SoS that show correct methods of planking and rigging that can be a big help in your adventure.
