SweepHall Posted July 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 24, 2020 Hi all Newbie member from Wales here and just thought I'd pop in and say hi. Built a few models as child but nothing that requires the time and effort that model ship building seems to need! Have lurked on here for a while getting tips for my first build which was the HMS Revenge by Occre (the hints and tips are fantastic btw); gave me something to during lockdown because of Covid19. I've enjoyed reading through the build logs and wish I had done one for that build. I'm doing a build log for the AL Bounty 1:48 scale, so any tips, advice and encouragement will be gratefully received! mtaylor, druxey, MEDDO and 3 others 6 Quote Current build: AL HMS Bounty 1:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted July 25, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 25, 2020 Welcome to MSW, Sweephall. Best advise I can give is to open log. Also check the kit logs for the one you're building because a) they're a good guide and b) they usually point out dead-ends, errors, etc. Also, check out the other sub-forums here at MSW if you have questions. Often a search using the search feature will find you and answer.

Louie da fly Posted July 26, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 26, 2020 Welcome to MSW, SweepHall. Looking forward to seeing your Bounty under way. Interesting name you've chosen. Does it have a special significance? mtaylor and druxey 2 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Interesting name you've chosen. Does it have a special significance? Well... I played cricket from junior level for around 20 years and only stopped playing over the last year or two when I got a little bit addicted to golf instead. Whilst playing cricket I used to have a habit (a bad habit if you listened to my captain) of sweeping* everything I could. Now, my surname is Hall and someone once passed a comment about my sweep and called me SweepsAll. That eventually turned into SweepHall and the name stuck from there on. *for those of you who don't know what sweeping is, it's a shot in cricket called a sweep shot. mtaylor 1 Quote Current build: AL HMS Bounty 1:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
