Phill B Posted October 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 16, 2020 Hi all My name is Phil from Perth, Western Australia Thanks for the add I started my trade as a Shipwright in 1978 but have been out of the trade for 30 years I've only recently shown interest in building wooden model ship kits in the last 5 years Hopefully I can share some pictures of my builds and progress builds ccoyle, mtaylor, MEDDO and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie da fly Posted October 16, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 16, 2020 That'd be great, Phil. Have you decided on a kit to start with? With your experience you ought to do well. When you begin, make sure you start a build log. Check out these instructions, and note that the build log section is divided up by periods, starting with "up to and Including 1500 AD" and going forward from there. So figure out which period is right for you and put your log there. Where in Perth do you live? I grew up in Attadale but haven't lived in WA for yonks. Say hello to the Swan River for me, will you? mtaylor, MEDDO, JeffT and 1 other 4 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Louie da fly Posted October 16, 2020 Share #8 Posted October 16, 2020 I'm pretty sure that when I was a kid in a youth orchestra we went to Bridgetown as part of a concert tour and we all got billeted overnight by local families - I ended up being billeted at the pub (which was a bit of surprise). I can date it pretty well, because we met a local girl called Rita and Sergeant Pepper's had just come out, so we called her "lovely Rita". Not sure if she got the reference . . .

Phill B Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted October 17, 2020 thanks everyone for your replies I currently work away but bring my ship building with me to a certain degree Something to do to pass the time However my work bench is a rather crude set up, it gets the job done Any large volumes of painting though has to be done back home, particularly air brushing Looking through the galleries , there is fantastic work with a lot of time and dedication Ryland Craze, mtaylor and MEDDO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEDDO Posted October 18, 2020 Share #11 Posted October 18, 2020 Welcome Phil. Many of us bring stuff to work on when we travel or are away from home.
