Ben87 Posted March 30, 2021 #1 Posted March 30, 2021 Hi Everyone, I'm Ben from the Netherlands and I'm just starting out with wooden model ship building. I've had a facination with old ships for a long time, I just love the look of them. As a teenager I've build plastic models as a hobby but now i would like to give these boats a try. I would love to build the HMS Bounty at some time, the story of that ship is facinating, but for now I've ordered a Billing Boats Le Marteagou. This is promoted as a beginners boat, which sounds better for now. Once it is in I will start a build log about it, because I'm sure I will have a lot of questions. ccoyle, mtaylor, Edwardkenway and 4 others 7 Quote
