Opaahi Posted November 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2020 Hello everybody. My name is Jose and I’m living in the northwest coast of Spain in al lovely place call Pontevedra. I found you surfing on internet and I get impressive for your incredible works. I would like to arrive to build such spectaculars ships with your help. I apologize for my English but I will try to improve it. Now here in Pontevedra a new theory is getting strong, they are trying to prove that Cristobal Colon was born in Pontevedra. If somebody is interesting I can give more information. Regards ccoyle, Geowolf, JeffT and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CW_Tom Posted November 24, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 24, 2020 Welcome Jose! There is plenty of good information here. I'm fairly new here myself and have been impressed with the projects that have been posted here. Have you done any modeling in the past? mtaylor 1 Quote Current Build: USS Tinosa (SSN 606) Fast Attack Submarine - Scratchbuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get an answer to just about any question you might have when ever you start on your build, any idea what you want to build first?

Opaahi Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted November 24, 2020 Thank you for your welcome. CW_Tom and keithbrad80 I am making the Corsair of Occre which has been in my son's closet for two years. Someone gave it to him at his 15th birthday party.I found it during the closing for the Covid. It gave me a lot of problems with the lining of the helmet and I made all the mistakes of the beginner but I hope to finish it and start another one with your help. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
