Just joined. I am still searching the site. I have done plastic models, mostly cars, since I was young. Have always envied the wood sailing models and want to do one. When ever I see a completed one I can’t help but stop and take a look at it and admired the workmanship. I have narrowed my choice to a clipper ship for the first build and will do a relatively easy one.
 
Hey Dross...
Welcome to SOS. Glad to have you here. Pull up a chair and sit a while. Read a little. Think a little. Look at the pictures. Lots to see and do around here. We have a lot of members in Texas, some of which are around your area I believe.!! Remember to start a build log when you get going on a model. Pictures, we love pictures.!!
Again, welcome.

This is my first. I got a lot of tips from the rest of these guys. Unfortunately, I was halfway through my build before I joined this group. You'll get a lot of help here. Have you started a build yet? Or you in the planning stages?
 
Warm welcome. We look forward to seeing your work on the clipper. Wooden ship modeling is incredibly rewarding. Glad you made the switch, and good luck with the build! :)
 
I am 64. Been modeling since I was 12. Done just about every genre there is. Concentrating on scratch built American sailing warships in 1/72 scale id you search ships destroyed at Norfolk harbor 1861 you will see the 11 warships I am making. I have finished the Pennsylvania and Columbus. I am rigging the United States and am about to copper the bottom of the Delaware.

From my side a warm welcome here on board of our forum - Your model is looking very very good
And your project sounds very interesting - so it would be great, if you could start a building log (possible also from the actual status) and show your work Thumbsup Thumbsup
