CharlieRK Posted December 10, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2022 Evening everyone, First of all, the quality of work and advice on this forum is inspirational. I picked up Mantua Albatross some time ago, made a start, doubted myself and put it on pause and before you know it you're several years down the path. Over time, I've picked up a few useful tools at car boot sales that would be useful but not really thought about picking up where I left off. The final straw is that I picked up a Billings Mayflower (801) at a nearby charity shop with the box still sealed today. After trawling the internet and finding some great posts on here, I've decided to dig out the Albatross, get some confidence and make some time. Time to clear the bench and turn on the bright lights...looking forward to it. Ryland Craze, ccoyle, Keith Black and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPDDET Posted December 11, 2022 Share #8 Posted December 11, 2022 Welcome! Anytime is a good time to resume work on a model. You may find putting aside a project for a short or extended time is more common than you think. I sometimes go for weeks without getting anything done in the shipyard. I find forcing myself to work on my model usually ends up in inferior workman ship. Better for me to wait until I'm really ready and looking forward to the task. mtaylor, Ryland Craze and Keith Black 3 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
