JDNottm Posted January 19, 2019 #1 Posted January 19, 2019 Hi all! Just introducing myself. Im James from Nottingham in the UK, I’m a Councillor and Military and Maritime historian. I have been building models since I was a child and it’s always been an escape hobby along with sailing and boating. Mostly I build model kits rather than scratch built but that’s mainly due to time. Thanks to @Old Collingwoodfor the introduction to the site! lmagna, DelF, GrandpaPhil and 8 others 11 Quote

Mark P Posted January 20, 2019 #7 Posted January 20, 2019 Hi James; That is indeed an impressive array of models. I presume that you have seen the large model of King George V in the NMM. Wouldn't quite fit on a cupboard, though! All the best with your modelling. Mark P mtaylor and Old Collingwood 2 Quote Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans. 2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans. Started at around that time, but unfinished: 74 gun ship 'Bellona' NMM plans. POB On the drawing board: POF model of Royal Caroline 1749, part-planked with interior details. My own plans, based on Admiralty draughts and archival research. Always on the go: Research into Royal Navy sailing warship design, construction and use, from Tudor times to 1790.
