Philbert Posted April 11, 2018 #1 Posted April 11, 2018 Hi, I'm Phil from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. New to this site. After three winters, I have finished my first scratch model, HMS Bellona. It has a lot of faults but considering I had no idea what I was doing, I am pretty happy with it. Looking forward to another build, possibly the Andrea Gail. geoff, ccoyle and mtaylor 3
spars Posted April 11, 2018 #2 Posted April 11, 2018 I have both great respect and great envy for scratch builders. Here in Minnesota I got to see Clayton Johnson's scratch build WASA. I was blown away. geoff and mtaylor 2
Philbert Posted April 11, 2018 Author #3 Posted April 11, 2018 my ship isn't real pretty but I did prove to myself I could do it. I too look with envy at the well done models but I am content with my limitations. Great way to spend winters in retirement mtaylor and geoff 2
