Jamsey66 Posted January 5, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2022 Hello All, thanks for letting me join I'm James from Surrey in the UK, have been modelling the old plastic kits for years, just completed my first wooden model a Artesania Latina Sopworth Camel enjoyed working with the wood immensely and have always wanted to build boats, looking at Bluenose or Bluenose 2 for first model but would welcome any suggestions for a first build, I think my ultimate would be the 1:200 Bismark but have always loved the Victory At the moment i am just reading the posts and build logs before I commit, I hope to enjoy this new venture as much as I can see many of you do AJohnson, Nirvana, No Idea and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
