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

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.

Mark.

Thanks one and all, much appreciated.... I look forward to beginning my HMS Endeavour log, will have a look around at other logs to see how and what format they use....  I will however start taking pics of my Terror for a mass posting of progress thus far 😎
