RobinB87 Posted February 10, 2021 #1 Posted February 10, 2021 Hello! and let me introduce myself a little bit. I read for a while on this forum and now my own project is starting so i thought i post here, lots of help here! I never been on a forum so i hope this works well for me.😁 I am Robin, 34 years old and living in the Netherlands. I've been modeling since i was about 10 years old. I've started of with model trains, then some plastic kits and wooden kits. I have a high standard in my modeling. A few years ago i made a switch in my profession to mostly carpentry, and i have to say that i love wood!😃 Also 4 years ago i have bought the plans for my new project, Le fleuron. I've read and researched a lot but since i moved to my new house it was on the upper shelf for a good year. Now i am off to hopefully a good start with this beauty, i have some questions and will start a new topic in the coming days. Mostly of my drawings are ready to go!! This project wont be a fast one because i have allot to do beside modeling.....but patience is the key!😉 Greetings! GuntherMT, Keith Black, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Best regards, Robin. Current build: Le fleuron 1729 scale 1:48 Scratch
