colpatben Posted January 27, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2021 Hi fellow boat modellers. I had been model boatbuilding for more years than I want to remember, up until my last model in 2009. To introduce myself, I attach a picture of each of the boats I have built over these years in much the same order as they were constructed! Wedico Inga IV. Wedico Berlin Ferry. Billings Smit Nederland. Dumas Creole Queen. Mantua Models Anteo. Robbe Atlantis. Robbe Glasgow Paddle Tug (with Wilesco Steam plant). Scratch Built Atlantic Conveyor. In Falklands Task Force configuration. Scratch built Fairmile B in Rescue Launch configuration (RML542) All long gone except: Billings Le Etoile. Static Display, still with me on the dining room windowsill. Currently in our lockdown situation December 2020, I have started to build a Mantua Le Superbe. I had started a build log on another site, but it is not the best place to have posted. I was wondering if it would be morally OK to move the build log to this site? All the best.

bruce d Posted January 27, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2021 Hello Colin and welcome to MSW from another Sussex resident. Nice models and nice to see that some of them even got wet. (I am sure mods will answer question about 'morals') Regards, Bruce mtaylor 1 Quote 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what kind of morality question plays into it, but you are certainly welcome to post your log here, and based on your previous models I expect that your Le Superbe will be, well, superb!
