Hi everyone,
I have been on this forum for a week or two now and thought I would get brave and introduce myself. It’s clear from what I have read that this is a great community with a wealth of knowledge and I love the way everyone is encouraging and supportive.
I live in regional Western Australia, and as I stated in the topic, I am brand new to this hobby. I have always been a closet model train lover and also love model muscle cars. But I have to admit that the craftsmanship involved in model ship building makes this seem far more personal and each piece is a work of art!
I am fortunate enough to have a hands on mentor who suggested this forum to me. I know many people rely on online support only. What started for me as taking an interest and being supportive of his hobby has started to turn into a bigger interest for me... probably just as well as I can see this fast becoming something to be completely immersed in!
i will be starting with a kit build which I hope to refine as my skills develop, but I do hope to be able to get to a point where I can build by scratch. As time permits with a few little ones at home to work around still!
Maybe I will get brave and start a build log!
thanks and looking forward to being part of this forum!
Jas
