Hi everybody,
40 years ago I got a kit of a wooden brig as a christmas gift … the task of planking the hull in combination with poor instructions and the lack of available informations set an end to this project. As I still love wooden model ships I have decided to try it again. For the restart I have picked the Albatros from Occre - 1:100 scale and already did it past the stage of planking … and I love it…
I am addicted to frigates of the 18th century and have read all of the Hornblower books and have seen all the movies so HMS Indefatigable from Vanguard Models is the one I want to build in the future. On my way to her I will have to learn a lot and get used to the techniques I will need. In addition I want to get used to the Vanguard-style and plan to work my way up by building one of their cutters, the HMS Grecian, the Speedy and the Sphinx before I will finally be able to try the Indy.
All help I will get from you is highly appreciated an maybe … some day … I will be of help to other fellow shipbuilders.
Kai
