Alan S Posted April 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 8, 2020 Hi I am new to model ship building so have joined this group as I know I will have some problems as I go on. I am building a model of the HMS Bounty getting on ok atm but have only made the false keel and the bulwarks ( I think they are called ) it has been very therapeutic in this lock down period keeping my wife and I separate. I am finding the research to be fascinating the main problem is that the plans are all in Italian even though I have an English translation of the instructions I keep coming across text on the plans that have not been translated so having to google them. keep safe everyone and good luck in these troubled times.
