Pete D Posted January 17, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2021 I am a new member to this hobby . Due to the stay at home restriction decided to build a model ship. Found HMS Flirt . Unaware that this forum existed , I managed to complete the build , struggled a few times , but in the end I think its passable . Now that I am "hooked" I have ordered HMS Beagle .

Louie da fly Posted January 18, 2021 Share #8 Posted January 18, 2021 Welcome to MSW, Pete! That's a beautiful model of the Flirt. When you start on your Beagle, make sure to start a build log. It's a great way to get help, advice and encouragement - and we get to look at your progress photos. The instructions are here: Good to have you on board, and have fun with it!
