Danstream Posted September 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 6, 2020 Dear all, my name is Daniele, I am Italian, but I have spent my last 30 years in the Netherlands where I live and work at present. The country here is a very good country for sailing (and also for other things) and in the past I used to enjoy sailing. I was also a proficient scuba diver and I enjoyed diving here and in few most interesting places around the world. Now, I just watch sailing boats and I thought it would be nice for me to try building models as an alternative different way of continuing cultivating interests in the marine world. I have just joined this fine forum which I have been following for a while. I do not have previous ship modeling experience, although I watched my father and my brother building quite fine models. I thought that joining this forum would be an excellent way to facilitate learning and getting first hand advices from experienced modelers. In addition, sharing my work on a forum, surely will add an additional dimension to the hobby. Soon, I will be starting a build log so I can present my work to you. Thanks for reading and my best regards to all, D.

Welcome to the forum, D. Be sure to select a model that you are interested in but suitable for a beginner. There is a lot to learn and become familiar with. Start a build log when you start making your model and don't hesitate to ask any and all questions. You'll get a lot of good advice and support from some of the very experienced modelers here.
