Gendarme Posted September 4, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Hi, As a 56 year old I came back to plastic modelling a few years ago, after a pause of almost 30 years ! Now I decided to take the hobby a bit further down the line. I made up my mind to “step into the deep” and take a chance at building wooden ships (at least make a very serious effort 😉). I have been “scavenging” the internet on the subject for some weeks and stumbled hereby on the “NRG MODELLING FORUM” and what a find indeed ! Today I was already in the opportunity to take a glance as a“guest” in the await of my registration completement and can’t wait to soak up the information you guys are sharing … so much to learn !!!!
