Think I am going to have to put my model building to one side for a while (about 8 months I think). Finally fell pregnant, don't worry... it was planned as a long time of IVF was the way to get into this position! As I have noticed there are some ladies present amongst the members that might be able to advise me on something that might help me... Do any of you know if you are allowed wood glue and wood stain whilst pregnant? I figure those are the 2 main things that are needed to build a wooden model (please do correct me if I am wrong). I know the plastic model is out of the question for now due to the glue and the email paints. Please, I would love to hear your advise on this.

TO Eddie: I will do a wood one some day, it doesn't scare me at all. Cant wait to be honest but this one first as I promised that to my partner. TO KeitnAug : I did go to the races on an invite from one of our clients, I did win... put a 2 pound bet on and came home with £36 so not bad considering it was my first time and I still to this day dont have a clue how those odds things work! I just bet on the horse with the name that sounded the sweetest (as in sugar sweet as I love sugar). Think the handyman bit was a bonus for him, but do think that I got stamped a keeper when I was here for 3 months and decided to put a floor in his loft To Cog: Welcome to my universe Cog! lol Husband does like silence lol... but he wishes to be a builder to but he is so swamped with work he doesn't have the time to... some day I will make him. So am I getting this right... I made my build even harder by getting the photo etched parts!? eek! To Eddie: No planking just yet for me, it is the plastic Heller kit I am doing... for now. Working my way up to some day make a wooden build.

TO Cog: Thanks Cog, or should I say "dank U wel" And trust me... stupid questions do exist... ask my partner lol TO Dilbert55: Thank you Dilbert55 for the super galactic welcome It is a plastic model I am building (the Heller kit)... for now. Once this one is done in a century or so I will be going for a wooden build as I prefer the look of them and the skill involved but for now to get my head around plastic for me. To Anja: Hi Anya, a lot of dutch people here (I am originally from Belgium, the dutch part). Shoosh is my nickname I got when I first came to England (love got me here) as no one managed to pronounce my name correctly my partner started calling me shoosh (although he said it a lot when I was talking... think he just wanted to shoosh me). My real name is Sarouchka To Eddie: No planking just yet for me, it is the plastic Heller kit I am doing... for now. Working my way up to some day make a wooden build.

Hello there! As the title suggests I am new to all that is... model making... ship building... My partner has had the Heller model for the HMS Victory 1:100 for ages and told me I could build it if I wanted to, I was over the moon! Until.... I looked at the manual (read: those few pages I thought was going to be a manual of about 200 pages)!!!!! I am a girl that likes to build stuff and loves a challenge so hey... why not! I have floored up my own loft, fitted a new kitchen, tiled a floor and fitted a new bathroom without any former knowledge of any of it and it looks great (my future husbands words and he is very picky), so why not have a go at the Victory! Pretty sure I can do it (if I can figure out which side is witch on a boat lol. And to be sure I don't have a easy trip on this I have bought an upgrade with etched parts and resin parts like the steps and parts to put in a side entry door. So peeps... get ready to be amazed by really stupid questions from me!
