Robp1025 Posted March 19, 2021 #1 Posted March 19, 2021 Hey everyone my name is Rob and I did a lot of model cars as I was growing up. It's been 15 years since I picked up a model so I wanted to see how doing wooden models would be. I just post my first log after doing extensive research on good starting models to get my hands wet. So come and check out my HMS Beagle build and looking forward to getting to know you guys. Ryland Craze, Keithbrad80, MEDDO and 3 others 6 Quote
