lobo 7 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 New to forum, I got into the hobby back in the late 1970"s buying my first kit from Model Expo in NJ. I met Mr. Frank Mastini there, and ended up becoming a student of his. I recently retired and am now getting back into ship building. Currently started a Mamoli Alabama, and an old Authentic models kit Princess Royal Ship in a Bottle, which I picked up at the Disney World Souvenir shop outside the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride. Totally different feel from building a plank on frame, I find it more enjoyable & relaxing, not to mention a lot smaller mess & footprint to deal with. Looking forward to tips & tricks & checking out your Bottle builds! Thanks Lobo JesseLee, Chasseur, James w rogers and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gwyl Blaser 235 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Welcome aboard Lobo. I remember Frank Mastini. I think I have a construction video from way back where he is demonstrating the ship building process. Gwyl Chasseur 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

James w rogers 925 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Welcome aboard lobo! You’ve joined a great place. Definitely agree that it’s a different feel to plank on frame, I’ve only done 4 sibs so far, but recently started a plank on frame model and not enjoying it half as much, that and I can’t find a bottle big enough!😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
