Nirvana got a reaction from mtaylor in Coureur by cafmodel - 1/48
That is just beautiful, giving that material some patina for aging and would be able to fool me saying it's and old mark.

Genny,
Feel free to post a review here in our book area: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/45-book-monograph-and-magazine-reviews-and-downloads-questions-and-discussions-for-books-and-pubs/ The "how to" is the pinned post at the top.

Looking forward to your builds!

Hello Genny, and welcome to MSW from Sussex. Thanks for pointing us towards a book which may otherwise have slipped past un-noticed.

My area too, born and bred.
My info says 'Horwich', but it's actually Anderton, Chorley. It's just that this half of our housing estate straddles the Lancs border.

Hi Genny,
welcome - from another newbie! I only joined a few days ago. I am also from ‘up north’, Gateshead to be precise. Perhaps in a few years time, if we both stick at this, we will organise a Northern Club!!!
I hope you do a build log, I will be doing so. It will be fun to see how we are both doing!
cheers, Lynn

I would suggest to read through the link provided by Mark.
There are several easier kit that doesn't have complicated planking.
Patience and more patience is what you need.

Lancashire - one of the old mill towns - grimy place - mostly cold wet and windy.

Hi all,
I'm a newbie, and I chose as my first build, The Beagle from Occre. Two reasons for my choice. Firstly the excellent tutorial vids on youtube as being a new builder I had no idea how clear the instructions would be and I didn't want to fail at the first hurdle.
Secondly, I read a book in 2008 and it turned out to be my all time favorite book ever. If I could only take one book to a desert island this would be it. This Thing of Darkness by Harry Thompson
I originally found this in the library, loved it so much I promptly went out and bought it so i could read it again.
I've quoted one of the 5 star reviews on Amazon from C. E. Utley of the book below as I can't possibly do it justice myself.
After reading this I have been fascinated by the voyages of the Beagle, and therefore it HAD to be my choice of first build.
I've got to the stage of making the Bowsprit, and although I've made a few mistakes along the way I'm happy how its turning out. I found the hardest thing was actually making the tiny boats - most exasperating.
I won't make a build log of this although I'll upload a few photos once I've finished.
Anyway, I hope this introduction wasn't too long, and if you happen to read the book - you are in for a treat.
Best wishes everyone
Genny

Nirvana got a reaction from thibaultron in Converting a Backyard Shed into a Model Workshop
Hank, what a great job you have done. Will you have a fridge with refreshment too?
Btw, your display case - that stand it is placed on seems to be kind of instable. I would recommend to do something about it, unless you have done that without us seeing it.
