Nice to see you back, mate; and congratulations on the birth of your new grandson! John -

The external hull detail is really making her come alive, Danny! John

Sygreen, You only need to post once so as not to clutter the forums. I've removed your other posts on the same subject for the sake of clarity. It's difficult to know how to advise you without knowing the sort of model you want to start with. What part of the world you live in might also help re availability of equipment. You only need to start small, buying only what tools you need as you go. The main thing is to buy good quality. Yes, they're far more expensive, but they'll do the job better and last you a lifetime.

Michael, Most of the comments we get are in the vein of "You must have a lot of patience" or, "are you using balsa wood" or, "Where are the toilets?" But every now and then we get people who are really interested and want to know where we get plans, where we get wood, what sort of tools do we use, how do you learn to build models. Of course, if anyone shows real interest, I tell them about a marvellous web forum that they can join for free! John

Just a short note to let you know that I haven't abandoned the 'Pritt', but rather forgot to take my camera to the museum last week! The first cant frames are on, but it's very slow work while talking to visitors at the same time! I promise to try and remember the camera next time. John

Nice to see her back, Pat! John

Jud, The counter stern would put considerably earlier than the 40's, I think. John

Hello, Damon, and welcome to the forum. What you have is a model of a large steam cargo ship from the early part of the 20th century. Unfortunately I don't think that there's a lot more can be said about it. The name appears to be fictitious and, with the funnel missing, there doesn't seem to be a lot of hope of finding the company that owned her. John

Every step forward helps, Steve! John

Fairly reasonable, Remco! Actually - pretty stunning! John

That looks a good neat job, Russ. John

Great to hear that you're properly on the mend, Mobbsie! The Aggie's looking first class, mate! John

Nice going with the deck, Russ. It's always good when parts fit so well that they seal themselves in! John
