Hi folks.  I've been building period ships for some time now (Admiralty board model of HMS Halifax, several kits etc.) and have branched into half-hull models for the past bit.  Always looking for new ideas on building and specifically the history behind the real vessels.  This forum seems to be a wealth of same.

Hello Kirk, welcome to MSW from the UK. Your models look good. I especially like the half-hulls: makes me want to dig out the drawings I made a year ago for a half-hull HMS Union.

Looking forward to seeing a build log.

 

Regards,

Bruce
