Hello everyone,
Just joined and picked this site over the others because it looks like a more in-depth forum.
I built a wooden ship from a kit many years ago that was a Xmas gift from my mother-in-law. A Bluenose that took about a year to complete because of work, wife and kids, house and lawn. Came out pretty good for my 1st time at this.
Now being retired and an empty nester, I decided to dwell into another ship building endeavor. I purchased an Occre Buccaneer (I like pirate ships) that is more detailed and involved.
I'm enjoying this build, but I know that I will have a few questions for you all.
Thanks for having me!
 
Welcome! We're excited to have you join us. Don't forget to share your build log once you start building—we can't wait to see your progress!
 
I will certainly post some pics.
I'll look for the proper section to do so.
Thank you for the warm welcome!
 
Welcome aboard. The Buccaneer was my first build and I learned a lot plus enjoyed the build.
