John Murray Posted July 29, 2022 #1 Posted July 29, 2022 HI there, I have been modelling for most of my life. In my 20s I built a couple of Billings boats but didn't finish. They were beyond me. I have done plastic models for around 50 yrs. Now in my 60s, it is time to revisit the wooden boats that fascinate me. I have bought HMS Pegasus and HMS Vanguard from Victory models and look forward to starting these. I have bought various things to assist me so once things settle down with my moving house, I hope to start soon with a build log here. I will be posting in the ship plans forum as well a question I have.
