Hey folks, Dion Dunn here. I’m a mid-50’s builder of. Pretty much anything and everything, and have recently turned my attention back to model ships. Over the past 40 years, I’ve built or restored everything from a 1952 Ford Custom (first car) to a Formula Vee race car, to a vintage Italian bicycle….Lots of RC airplanes and sailboats, RC cars, an HO scale model railroad (in progress), and now back to boats. I’m also the ex-Commodore of our local Sailing club and actively race a Sunfish and a Capris 14.2 fullsize sailboats.
In the past I’ve built the Model Expo Phantom pilot boat, the Amati 1934 J class Rainbow, and the Model Expo Taurus tugboat (for my Father’s train layout). A few years ago I purchased one of the older Artesania Latina 1:50 Swift kits at a garage sale, and have just started it. It’s not the best kit in the world, but it’s scratching the itch for now. Looking forward to a larger build and learning lots from the folks on this site!

I’m a beginner too and just started planking my first boat. I love this Fifie kit and will be following your build with interest!
