Retired guy Posted September 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2019 Hi everyone, Just signed up to this great forum, I love to build models, can be any sort, airplanes, armour and of course wooden ships, have had a look around and there are a lot of brilliant ships being built. I am in the process of building the Model Shipways Bluenose 1921 Kit #2130 scale 1/64 will do a work in progress soon.

Tector Posted September 26, 2019 Share #15 Posted September 26, 2019 One can never have too much of a vessel that looks like she's going fast when she's sitting still. Beautiful work on your Endeavour, you'll clearly do Bluenose justice.
