EdS Posted April 28, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 28, 2019 Hi my name is Edward and just started modelling, needed a hobby I can do from an apartment. Like many others here I am starting with the HMS Bounty Jolly boat for my first project and hope to build up skills to be able to tackle the HMS Surprise. I have read lots of good tips located on this site already and look forward to the support if I get in jam during the build.

pontiachedmark Posted April 30, 2019 Share #5 Posted April 30, 2019 Gidday Edward and another warm welcome from the Land Downunder. A good choice for a first model. Beware this pastime gets into your blood. You will find a lot of support and encouragement here. A couple of thoughts, Search the build logs for your Jolly Boat and the HMS Surprise, you will gain an understanding of the build process. Ask questions when and if you become unsure of something. Remember that no question is unworthy of an answer. I wish you all the best in your build. Mark. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdS Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted April 30, 2019 Thanks for the welcome, got a feeling I will be needing help sooner than later with this planking business. I am at the stage to start planking but need to read up more on it first. Cheers pontiachedmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
