Ron Burns Posted July 6, 2018 #1 Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Hi everyone! After lurking for a few days and combing through many of your exquisite builds and build logs, I believe I might have come to the right place. I found this site by doing a search for 'best wooden ship model' and couldn't wait for my registration to go through to see the results of the ongoing poll. I'm an old card modeler that mainly built Great War flying stuff and had always sat back watching other folks create wonderful ships from the Shipyard line. Of course, being the bonehead that I tend to be, I grabbed the Shipyard HMS Bellona as my starting point and introduction to ship building. I reached the point of almost completing the hull and was starting to contemplate masts, rigging, etc. when my wife (of 25 years at that time ) took ill and everything got put on hold for the past 3 years. She has recovered wonderfully and I thought it was time to start building again. I look forward to meeting all of you, learning and sharing. Best Regards!
