Paul Le Wol Posted October 21, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2021 It’s been over 30 years since I built my model ships. Both were Billings Boats. One The Bohuslan and the other The Bluenose. That is way too long between builds. Recently I purchased a Cheerful package from Syren. Hoping to soon have some content to share with the community. mtaylor, Chuck, ccoyle and 1 other 4 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

Jim Lad Posted October 21, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 21, 2021 Hello Paul, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. Coincidentally, Dundas, New South Wales, is only a few kilometers down the road from me. John Laing Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Le Wol Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted October 21, 2021 Thank you John. I hope everything is good down there. And I bet that your Dundas is just as nice as my Dundas. I can’t put my finger on it but there’s just something about Dundases ( if that’s a word ) Keith Black, Jim Lad and mtaylor 3 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

Haliburton Posted October 22, 2021 Share #12 Posted October 22, 2021 Welcome Paul! I grew up in Dundas. A beautiful town. Dundas trivia For the benefit of other readers, Dundas had a significant greenhouse operation up until the 1990s which exported cacti around the world. Billing itself as Canada’s Cactus Capital the summertime Cactus Festival was always a fun time.

Paul Le Wol Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted October 22, 2021 Hi Patrick and Haliburton, thank you both for your welcomes to MSW.
