Hello from Scotland


Boydie

Recommended Posts

Thought it would be best to introduce myself, I'm Boydie from near Edinburgh. I'm a former Marine Engineer in the Merchant Navy, now I'm a Multi Skilled Engineer in the food manufacturing industry; maintenance, installation of new production lines, robots ect.

 

I've been building models for a while, I'm currently building HMS King George IV 1/350, it's been on hold for a few months due to buying a house and decorating it. But I think I've made enough progress with this to treat myself in restarting the build. So I thought I'd keep a build log to keep myself motivated and maybe learn a few new tricks on the way. 

 

Looking forward to meeting you all. 😀

Welcome to MSW, Boydie.   By all means, start a log of King George.

 Frank, you need to introduce yourself in your 'own new member introduction' where everyone has an opportunity to meet you, learn something about you, and welcome you aboard.
