Dave Chapman Posted November 9, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 9, 2018 G'day all I've just recently become a member of this forum having searched high and low for a decent ship modellers forum and hey presto, here I am. I am a retired Architect/D&T Teacher through illness (COPD) since my diagnosis in 2012, so now I can spend plenty of time working on my ship/s. Having previously done numeric modelling projects from painting model figures through to building models. I'm presently busy with HMS Terror by OcCre as a means of gently leading me back into the hobby, it's a lovely little starter and it's rekindled my love of working with wood (as a D&T teacher my speciality was graphics and wood working), albeit on a smaller scale.... I love it and this forum has brilliant links to models and tips. Finally, so I don't waffle on to much (as a teacher, km blessed with the gift of the gab) lol, I've got on the shelf an OcCre HMS Endeavour awaiting my attention. So finally guys, thanks for accepting me Dave pirozzi, mtaylor, Osmosis and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiachedmark Posted November 10, 2018 Share #8 Posted November 10, 2018 Gidday and a warm welcome from the land Downunder Dave. You'll find a lot of support here. As a former teacher I'm sure you know there is no such thing as a stupid question. Infuriating at times but not stupid. All the best with your build.
