dravas76 Posted March 2, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2017 Hi everyone, I am returning to wooded ship building and to that Modelshipworld forum. I am still working on a Mamoli Hms Beagle kit I purchase some years ago. Like every one know that model is not a real reproduction of the Beagle. The model is a Bounty with a look of the Beagle. So I decide to use the wood of the kit and scratch build a more accurate version of the HMS Beagle at 1/72 scale. I am from Canada. ccoyle, Eddie, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
