Daveruss Posted June 12, 2020 #1 Posted June 12, 2020 Hi all, Just decided to join the forum and I’ve started a build log for my Panart 1/78 HMS Victory. I live on the Isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland. I have just turned 60 but been retired for quite a few years now. Needed to get back into model shipbuilding after building a couple of Caldercraft kits in the past, Sherborne and Bounty. Been wanting to build a Victory for ages now it’s time. Dave VTHokiEE, JeffT, mtaylor and 3 others 6
ccoyle Posted June 12, 2020 #2 Posted June 12, 2020 Welcome aboard! I would love to visit Arran some day -- the whole west coast of Scotland has a very rugged natural beauty.
