Newbie from Canada

Recommended Posts

I am a landlocked Canadian looking at dipping my toes into the Wooden Model shipbuilding world. I have always wanted to build model ships since I was a child. Now close to retirement, my wife and children gifted me with my 1st build... The HMAV Bounty by Billings boats. My experience is nil, but I have always been "handy" and never back down from a challenge. Plus being Obsessive Cumpulsive seems to be a perfect fit for this challenging hobby. Looking forward to starting my own build log and stealing tips and tricks from all of your members. Judging from my first peek at some of the Bounty build logs, I see that there are many amazing artists to draw experience from. Wish me luck, I'll need it.
