New to wooden ship building

[Ignatius27]

I recently started wooden ship modeling after several years of doing plastic boats. Starting off slowly with some low-cost internet builds then graduated to some skill level 1 and 2 builds from Model Shipways and Midwest Products. Building the Midwest Peapod lobster boat now. I am enjoying the hobby / craft and looking forward to meeting you all through this site.

Welcome aboard from Connecticut. Your boats are looking good!

Welcome! Very nice work, I found the peapod to be a really fun build.

Your photo of the Atlantic City lifeboat brought back a flash of good memories "down the shore" from Sandy Hook to Stone Harbor, New Jersey.

When I lived in Ohio, we used to spend a week at Cape May, NJ. I remember seeing similar lifeboats.

Our summer home was on Long Beach Island for decades, so I share good memories down the shore!

I made the mistake of planking the hull from the bottom up instead of from the top of the rub rail down. Im going to redo it so I can get that nice "even plank" look!

I truly admire your willingness to go for a do-over. Which vessel are you talking about?
