Thanks Cpt Hook.

JK, thanks for the welcome also. I am looking forward to getting started. Hopefully my kit won’t be long for delivery.  Just getting some tools together at the moment.  

Thanks Michael.

I will be soon following in your footsteps with the Sherbourne. Brand new to modelling and I expect to get a lot wrong but I also expect to learn a lot. You look to be getting to grips with the build.

Patrick / Jörgen - thank you for the welcome.

Jörgen, really liking your Sherbourne build. I will try not to bombard you with questions.  

This thread is an inspiration as I wait for delivery of my first model which is also a Sherbourne.  

This is really helpful for me. I have a Sherbourne on order. Your model is looking really nice.  

Many thanks for the welcome everyone.

(P.S. If I may, could I ask that you please give some consideration to your username? We already have an active member who goes by the username "kevin" -- 'cause his name is Kevin, like yours -- and it might prove confusing to have two almost identical usernames in use, and both from the UK, too. If you decide on a change, a moderator can make the change for you.)

No problem at all.  Happy to be KevW.  

Hi all

I am Kevin and live in North Yorkshire, UK. A 58 year old lucky enough to have taken early retirement a few months ago. I have a real interest in history from the Napoleonic times.  I have been thinking about a model ship for a few years now and having just finished an epic 2 volume book on the life of Nelson by John Sugden, I have decided to get started. Having looked at some awesome models on this forum I have just ordered the Caldercraft HMC Sherbourne which fits nicely into the time period of history that holds my interest.  I hope I can do the vessel some justice but I have to be realistic about my first build. Whilst I find starting this to be daunting I hope I can learn from others.
