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.

 

Regards

Richard

Hi Richard and welcome to MSW. I'm down in Victoria, so I guess we're pretty much neighbours. Really good looking Endeavour!

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.
