Nek0 Posted September 18, 2017 #1 Posted September 18, 2017 Hello all, I think before I start my topic on this forum I should introduce myself. I'm 39, married, and a father of a marvelous little kid of two and a half years. I'm a medic, and besides that I'm also a martial arts instructor (japanese MMA), a biker and a guitarist. And of course I try to be a modeler, but I will not finish my model until a few more years... I currently build "Le Soleil Royal", and I hope my work will be of some interest for you. Thank you for welcoming me here, and please be indulgent with my poor mastering of the english language. Best regards, Marc geoff, JeffT, mtaylor and 2 others 5
MEDDO Posted September 18, 2017 #2 Posted September 18, 2017 Welcome, and don't worry about the language issue. We have plenty of people around here who don't speak English as primary language. When you're comfortable after looking around a while feel free to start a log of your current build. We would love to see it. geoff, mtaylor and tasmanian 3 Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

spars Posted September 19, 2017 #12 Posted September 19, 2017 You have already created a 'heritage' for your little one. Its a way to open the history of France for him. In a way we are all beginners as each new model is a beginning. My grandson is too young for models yet so I built him an all wood garage for his cars. BTW I was in Germany in the early '70's as a soldier. mtaylor 1
Ulises Victoria Posted September 19, 2017 #13 Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Hello Marc from Monterrey, Mexico Spanish is my main language and I see your English is better than some Americans I've seen. I am a guitarist also. I hope your stay here will make you improve your ship building skills. I am currently building the French Royal Louis of 1780. Gorgeous ship, in my opinion. Edited September 19, 2017 by Ulises Victoria mtaylor and tasmanian 2 There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT. Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina. Last finished projects: Royal Ship Vasa 1628; French Vessel Royal Louis 1780. 1/90 Scale by Mamoli. 120 Cannons Future projects already in my stash: Panart: San Felipe 1/75; OcCre: Santísima Trinidad 1/90; Wish List: 1/64 Amati Victory, HMS Enterprise in 1/48 by CAF models. So much to build, so little time!

Nek0 Posted September 20, 2017 Author #15 Posted September 20, 2017 Thanks ! In fact I can read english and barely speak it but I sometimes fear beeing "rude" because of poor expression. Ulises Victoria, your Royal Louis is gorgeous, congrats !! tasmanian, Ulises Victoria and mtaylor 3
