Koerant Posted December 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 22, 2021 Hi everyone. I've always been fascinated by historical sailing ships. They just look so awesome. I am very new to modeling. A few years ago I bought an AL viking kit to see if I would be interested in the hobby. I started the build but never finished it. A few weeks ago I decided to finish it and then found this forum. Once I am done with my viking kit, my next project is going to be the San Francisco II. harlequin, Duanelaker, JeffT and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted December 22, 2021 Share #7 Posted December 22, 2021 Newspaper, Welcome aboard. Been a long time since I read or heard much in Afrikaans, (55 years) and this brings back fond memories of Capetown, P. E., (with a half day side trip to Cape St. Francis to check out the surfing thanks to an incentive after watching Bruce Brown's movie), East London and Durban. Beautiful country. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Allan Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.
