XS400DOHC Posted September 7, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2021 My name is Benjamin, 45yo, married, 2 kids (8 and 5 yo), 1 dog, living near to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, patent officer at the german patent office. I´m a novice of shipbuilding. In the youth I made plastic models, mainly jets and helicopters. Some years ago I got the HMS Bounty from Constructo as birthday present. With big enthusiasm I started the frame and then life (job, kids, wife) was steeling time. The frame and the box with the parts moved from one corner to the next... But now I´m willing to restart building the ship. Hoping not to run out of time again. At the moment I´m starting to arrange a proper workplace, collect tools and materials, search for informations of the ship and howto´s. The buildlogs of the MSW-members (espacialy the logs of Steve 12345 and leginseel) helps a lot, to get informations, where I need to pay special attention. When I´m ready to (re)start I will also start a buildlog, to prevent other novice like me, to do the same mistakes. I appreciate, my model won´t win a price, but if I stay the course and finish the ship, I will have learned a lot and the (hopefully) next ship will look better. ccoyle, mtaylor, bolin and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobG Posted September 7, 2021 Share #8 Posted September 7, 2021 Welcome Benjamin! You've found the right place to discuss ship modeling and to ask any questions you may have. Garmish was the first place I ever went skiing. I was only 5 years old and my family was living in Stuttgart since my father was stationed there with the US Army. That was decades ago but I still remember the beautiful mountains in the area. Good luck. I look forward to your build log. thibaultron, mtaylor and Keith Black 3 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

Ryland Craze Posted September 8, 2021 Share #11 Posted September 8, 2021 Welcome to Model Ship World Benjamin. You have the right attitude in building your Bounty. So many ship model kits are never finished. Good luck on your build. mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote Ryland Member - Hampton Roads Ship Model Society - Ship Model Society of New Jersey - Nautical Research Guild Current Build - Armed Virginia Sloop, 18th Century Longboat Completed Build - Medway Longboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
