Erik A Posted June 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2019 Hi Everyone. new member here from New Zealand. also a member of modelspace forum and currently doing two builds. I have build logs there and will start them here as well. HMS Victory and Endeavor lifeboat by Artesania Latina I started the lifeboat as a means to enter into the world of wooden ship building and then got a absolute bargain on the Victory. so set myself up and got started. then life sort of gets in the way a bit so very slow progress currently. Im 56 currently and did a lot of plastic models when younger.... ok like 40 years ago :)been looking at these builds for a while now and finaly decided now was the time to make a start regards Erik JeffT, EJ_L, ccoyle and 2 others 5 Quote Ships in Drydock for build. De Agostini HMS Victory, BB Dannebrog, Artesania Latina Cutty Sark and Endeavour longboat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick01 Posted June 25, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 25, 2019 Hi Eric - welcome (and a quick Heads up). It sounds as if you're going from a good basic starter (as I did) straight to one of the more complex kits available. Hopefully you'll build a couple of others between as the skills learnt in the first build will realistically only be of minimal use on the Victory. Obviously I don't know your skill level but just wanted to give you a warning in case you suddenly find you've bitten off more than you can chew. 😉 Rick mtaylor 1 Quote Completed builds:- HM Cutter Mermaid.
