shortgrass Posted August 21, 2019 #1 Posted August 21, 2019 Just a short re-introduction. I was a member of Model Ship World many years ago and built a number of ships - some finished and some remain unfinished. I took a sabbatical from ship modelling for a number of years (have 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs - that kept me busy). Have got the bug again and am in the process of trying to complete some of my unfinished ships. Currently working on the HMS Bounty. mtaylor, JeffT, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote
