Back Again


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

After 4 years out I'm back again.

 

4 years ago I started my first model, and I learnt something important: I't hard to work without tools :P

 

In these years I finished my PhD, got a job, bought an apartment, and got a child.

It took me 4 years to finally be able to get a small workshop, but I'm happy with the results

(It's quite hard to get good tools here in Taiwan)

 

I recently bought 2 models from Occre: The bounty boat (a small beginner level model) and the cross-section of Santisima Trinidad 

I started building the bounty boat a week ago, I think it's time to start a blog entry

 

Cheers,

Federico.

Current building

Santisima trinidad cross section - Occre - 1:90

 

Finished

Welcome back! Sounds like you have gotten yourself set up and better prepared this time around. Good luck to you on your new builds and by all means start up that build log! I look forward to seeing your work.

Welcome.  I'm a newcomer too (well I was 8 months ago).  You'll find lots of helpful people here so ask questions when you need to.  I just got the Occre Trinidad cross section too (a week ago!) I won't be starting on it for a while (months) but perhaps you'll be ready to work on it concurrently!  Have you seen the other Trinidad section builds already?

I hadn't looked on YouTube. Is it worth the look?
