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 Tector thanks for your welcome see you are just across the water :D, I see that just looking at all the builds going on will start my WIP very soon, can't have enough of the great Canadian fishing Schooner eh.

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.
