AJohnson Posted March 13, 2021 #1 Posted March 13, 2021 Hello All, My names Andrew and I am a returning member from years ago! I've been lurking about a few weeks seeing what's going on and thought I better introduce myself. I've been a life long model maker and painter, but got my first wood ship kit in 2007 - Caldercraft's "Sherbourne" and did a build log on MSW 1.0; reading through some posts there was something called the "great crash of 2013?" that a vaguely recall, but I was an inactive member by then. Anyway after building the Sherbourne I then rashly decide that my next model would be Caldercraft's "Bounty" and had started another build log in 2010, but I found it hard work and gave up in 2011! So fast forward 10 years and I have dusted off the "Bounty" and started it again after all these years and am really enjoying it and made more progress in the last few months than I have for years. But realise I am in need of guidance, as I was in the past, so here I am again - hopefully for the long haul. I am determined to complete the Bounty and hidden away I also have Caldercraft's "Snake" and "Endeavour" patiently waiting their turn! Looking forward to getting involved once more Andrew mtaylor, ccoyle, JeffT and 3 others 6 Andrew Current builds:- HM Gun-brig Sparkler - Vanguard (1/64) , HMAV Bounty - Caldercraft (1/64) Completed (Kits):- Vanguard Models (1/64) :- HM Cutter Trial , Nisha - Brixham trawler Caldercraft (1/64) :- HMS Orestes(Mars), HM Cutter Sherbourne Paper Shipwright (1/250) :- TSS Earnslaw, Puffer Starlight
