ThaSandoman Posted May 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2020 Hey everyone. Just ordered my first wooden kit ever and have definitely bitten off more than I can chew.. Boy am I glad to have found this site! Used to build plastic war ships, planes & tanks back when I was in school 20 years ago. Haven't made any models since. I can def see myself starting another one once this first one is finished though. So my foreseeable addiction with wooden kits has got me a little bit excited but my girlfriend a little bit worried :D. Look forward to seeing everyone's builds. Cheers, ThaSandoman p.s. Couldn't be better timing to start this actually... as I've starting playing Sea of Thieves recently haha JeffT, GrandpaPhil, Jonny 007 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbie Posted May 26, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 26, 2020 Hello ThaSandoman Welcome aboard you could not have landed in a better place to build a model ship. Remember to start a log, have a look at all the info in the tabs at the top of the page and to take it easy.

Jonny 007 Posted May 26, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 26, 2020 G’day mate, Welcome aboard! What ship are you starting with? Defo start a build log so we can all follow along. I’ve nearly finished my first boat, have started my second and have my third sitting on the shelf ready to go! Also, Sandoman a reference to the legendary surf hack that was the Holden Sandman?

ThaSandoman Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted May 26, 2020 Sandman Panelvan indeed. Great guess! One of the nicknames I got in highschool due to having a similar surname. I bought the Billing HMS Bounty 😬 Just posted a help plea about it under General actually.. Thanks for the g'days fellas.
