Welcome to MSW, John.

Yorkshire is my favourite county. I visit York several times per year,

Thanks for that Mark.
I've saved the PDF doc so now will have it close to hand. Lots of Fly info now so really good news.

Cheers John

Hi Nigel.

Thanks for the welcome. I used to go fishing on the Swale at Asenby quite a few years ago when river fishing was fashionable. In latter years I used to go fishing at Woodlands Lakes at Carlton Minniot. Not been for about 4 years now. Weather not good at the moment so rather stop in and whittle anyway.

Cheers
John

To search for kits, go here:

Pick "wooden ship kits" Under "Fly", you'll find 10 logs listed. Sadly, the search engine here at MSW needs 4 characters to search on. It's actually not a bug.

Hi Jim

Thanks for the welcome. It is a big jump I know but I just love the look of it. I found a good site that will hopefully help me here: http://hmsfly.com. There doesn't appear to be anything about this model here on MSW unless anyone knows better?

Greetings John,
Welcome. I knew a girl once in Harrogate but that now seems so long ago!

Hi Mark

Thanks for the welcome. I will indeed post the finished Norden pics where you suggested. I will also attempt to post a build log as I did take pictures. It actually took me seven years to build:
2010 started building
2011 - 2016 collecting dust on shelf
2017/2018 now retired and weather not so good so completed

Cheers
John

Hi Keith

Thanks for the welcome. I have lived here for 60 years so can't imagine living anywhere else but that's an age thing.
Your builds are amazing by the way.

Cheers John
geoff reacted to mtaylor in Hello from UK January 13, 2018

Hi John,

Welcome to MSW. Post your finished build pics in the Gallery https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/gallery/

Hello John.

I always wanted to retire to Harrogate. A Yorkshireman down south is like a duck out of water. Welcome and I look forward to seeing your build.
geoff reacted to Johnnyreg in Hello from UK January 13, 2018

Hi all

I've been following this forum for a few months now and I have learnt a lot. There's a lot of talent and knowledge here.
I have decided to join and hopefully make a contribution.
I am currently building a Billing Norden T.72 and have just one sail to attach. This was my first build but now feel confident enough to build something more challenging so have just ordered a HMS Fly kit from Victory Models

I will post pictures of the Norden once I know where and would welcome any feedback.

Cheers
John
