Many thanks for adding me to the site and to those of you who have already provided some great advice. I'm new to shipbuilding but have experience of various plastic/card kits and thought the time was right to take on a project, in light of the current world issues. Not wanting to bite off more than I can chew, I've opted for the Occre kit 'Bounty Launch', which will hopefully give me a good learning curve without being daunting and off putting. Any thoughts on my choice will be greatly appreciated. I come from a long nautical background, 23 years of Royal Naval service so have always had a deep interest in naval history. Cheers to all and stay safe.
