Hello from Halifax NS Canada

[EdS]

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. 

 

Cheers

Edward

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.

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.

Welcome aboard. My mother was from Nova Scotia so I have an affection for the Maritime provinces.

Preparation is key, but planking is one of the best parts of a build.

 

Hello and welcome from a fellow Nova Scotian too. I grew up outside of Truro.
