Hi there. I’ve just joined the Group today. I’m a retired seafarer (38 years Service Royal Navy). I have been building POF ships since I was about 19. Six ships completed in between time away at sea. All builds have been from ‘in the market’ kits, but I am working myself up to take a leap of faith and semi scratch build HMS Prince from the Amati plans, which are on order. I just need to finish HMS Fly first; basic hull complete, main deck fitted and that’s it so far.
I do like WW2 ships, mainly 1/350 scale in plastic, with all the aftermarket bits and bobs. Recently finished a paper and card 1/200 HMS King George V.
Really looking forward to sharing stuff on this site.
