New member, but unfortunately still working and therefore little time to devote to my passion for all things related to sailing, in particular old wooden boats & ships. Lots of modelling experience long ago in the form of plastic kits (aeroplanes, fighting vehicles and ships), followed by radio controlled aircraft from both kits and plans. Happened upon a decent modelling shop in Norfolk (UK) and couldn't resist, purchasing the generic cutter 'Lady Jane' as my initial foray into this wonderful hobby. Gary.
