Hello all, thanks for inviting me aboard. Been a modeler since a child, but coming back to the hobby after about a 10+ year absence. As I’m a couple years into retirement it seemed like the right time to get things going again.
I had started a Charles W Morgan from Artesania before before getting busy with other stuff. So that’s where I’m picking up again. Almost done with hull planking, although when I started this my intention was to leave a natural wood finish. But I’ve decided to paint and rig her as she was later in her career. The years she spent in the North Pacific sailing out of San Francisco.
This site and the work of so many talented modelers has inspired me to make these changes to my own model. I have not found much information about painting techniques or colors but I’m hoping this is right place to glean a bit of schooling from the more knowledgeable memhers.
Thanks Dean
