Hi all once again First and foremost I'd like to thank you all very much for your warm welcome and excellent advice over the past 24 hours. I fully intend to read the books suggested and the practice hull planking idea shows the level of advice I will receive and take on board from this site. My model from eBay arrived and I'm glad to say that apart from the planking strips everything else is in sealed containers and bags, possibly a few planks were borrowed for another build but I'll soon find out the answer to that. I'll post some pics at te bottom. Another positive today was to visit my local hobby shop ( Float a boat ) in Ringwood Victoria, the owner was so helpful even to the point of asking me to bring in the kit so he could check it out for me, the friendliness in this hobby is already something I'm enjoying. I will definitely start a build log once I get underway which will no doubt lead to endless support and advice. once again thank u all.

Hello to all from the land down under ( Australia ) ive always wanted to build model ships, never had the room or the time. Now I have both and I managed to buy a Mamaoli 1/54 scale Caracca Atlantica from 1978 off eBay for $ 100 Australian. ive worked with my hands all my life and can be obsessive about doing things right and am determined this build will not end up floating in our local sewer system. So I will be building at a snails pace with plenty of research in between and joining a local modelling club. This site will and already has provided me with endless information. As I've already hinted I'm in way over my head and daunted by what I've purchased so wish me luck and any advice or laughter wouldn't hurt to calm my expectations. happy modelling to everyone and enjoy ur day.
