FSXManu Posted August 26, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2019 Hello from Switzerland :D My name is Manuel and me and my girlfriend Tanja would like to get into ship modelling. I already have experience from building plastic models, however, I decided I want to try out wooden models like the HMS Bounty. My girlfriend likes to build models too and she has some skills she learnt at art school. We both have a lot patience but we know that a model like the HMS Bounty is quite challenging for beginners like us. However, we would still like to start this project together. We hope you can help us out if we have any questions regarding e.g. tools or good kits and we look forward to talking to fellow model builders! See you around, Manuel & Tanja ccoyle, mtaylor, Fernando E and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich der Seefahrer Posted August 26, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Hello Manuel and Tanja, welcom a board! As me and my Admiral(ness) do also build shipmodels.it is a great thing to sit together on a table vis-a-vis and building differend models. We both want to start with AGATE a small whaling schooner of 1855 - but before scratch building we have to do some skill giving exercises. We want to build the whaler both from the same plan set copies. We want both to build in the same scale - but more ande more she developes more skills into wood and me into plastic. So our work will be completly differend. And she overtook me in wood in the first evenig we glued both a boat - she a working boat,me a whaling boat. So have fun and I hope to see some pictures...
