Forest Posted June 7, 2020 #1 Posted June 7, 2020 Hello there. I want to thank You for accepting me into this forum I'm Zbigniew, kinda both newbe and experienced to Tall Ships building. "Experienced" cause I did build quite a few of them, "newbe" cause I've done this over 20 years ago, back in my "teens" I came across this forum while looking for build logs of "Le Superbe/Glorieux" from Heller, which I bought recently. And I did found quite a few of those here! I must admit, that You people here are really crazy about Sails. And so am I 😁 Soon I will start my own building log of model based on "Le Superbe", until then, I will just admire all the goodness here 😉 bruce d, James H, Haliburton and 3 others 6
