Daveruss Posted June 12, 2020 Share #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.

ccoyle Posted June 12, 2020 Share #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. mtaylor and JeffT 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

allanyed Posted June 13, 2020 Share #12 Posted June 13, 2020 Welcome aboard!! I hope to visit Ireland and Scotland in the next year or two with a couple golf buddies and our wives. Gotta have something besides ship models to keep the mind (and body) in halfway decent shape.
