Thukydides Posted July 31, 2021 #1 Posted July 31, 2021 Hi everyone. I figured I should do a new member post as I have been hanging around the forums silently watching for a while. I hail from the fishing grounds of the North Atlantic near where the HMS Pegasus went down. Though I am new to building wooden ships, I have a lot of experience in plastic models particularly on the painting side. I have ordered the vanguard models alert kit and am planning to start a build log once it arrives. thibaultron, Baltic_submariner, druxey and 5 others 8 Current Builds: HMS Perseus (Scratch); Napoleonic Ship Miniatures (Semi-Scratch) Completed Builds: Type VII C U Boat (HobbyBoss); HM Cutter Alert (Vanguard Models)

allanyed Posted July 31, 2021 #5 Posted July 31, 2021 Thukydides, Welcome to MSW!!! Is there a story behind your screen name in that you have taken the name of a famous general and historian rather than an admiral of old such Themisocles 😄 Hope to see some of your build in the near future!! Allan Moab, bruce d, mtaylor and 3 others 6

Allan Not really, I have always had a keen interest in history and many years ago when I played computer games I needed to pick a character name for an MMORPG I was playing. I had been reading about the peloponnesian war at the time and so the combination of Thukydides being a bit obscure (so was not already taken) and me being fascinated with the melian dialogue tipped the scales. Since then I have consistently used it as an alias.

Those miniatures have lots of detail indeed, considering how tiny most are. If you have the attention and patience to paint those, you'll feel right at home here. I am a fan of WH myself, but only play on PC; mainly Total War, Blood Bowl and Mechanicus. 🎮 Edited August 1, 2021 by Eurus Thukydides, mtaylor and Keith Black 3 Eurus My logs: Providence Whaleboat ARM Cuauhtémoc
