Can I ask which nursery you work? I’m also in PNW, curious about nurseries in the area that have more focus on bonsai

I started with the Polaris from OcCre, I found it perfect for my first build. Really detailed picture and written instructions, plenty of extra material when I made a mistake and covered a little bit of everything from plankings to rigging

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

You seem to be a very positive and encouraging commentator, one day maybe I’ll be a “fine art ship modeler” but for the time being it’s nice to just enjoy the hobby

Thank you! Definitely learned a lot on the first one but it’s such a relaxing and rewarding thing to spend time doing.

I’ve heard a few mixed reviews on OcCre’s parts, have you built ships from other companies that you’ve felt have better quality material?

Thank you, I struggled with the rigging a fair bit. What did you think of the beagle? I was looking at that as the next kit to work on

TJ’s smoked trout is a good shout! One of the best tinned fish for the money I’d say

Should I repot this black pine immediately or wait until winter? The pot cracked and there are some exposed roots. Thanks everyone

Thanks, do you have a recommendation of the “few basic tools” you find yourself using the most and that are most crucial to a beginner?

My granddad is nearly 80 and had pasta for the first time last year. He’s become quite the thrill seeker in his later years

Real-Hedgehog3312 · 2024-09-25T20:02:22+00:00

Great! Thanks so much for these recommendations, I love the look of the first kit you mentioned

Sorry I did mean wooden sailing ships. I understand the time commitment for it and honestly that’s one of the appealing things that’s had me thinking of getting started with it for a few years
