David W Posted December 14, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2022 Returning to modeling after a many year hiatus. I dug a 1986 purchased Dumas boat out to finish (what a clunk model!!) then decided that I needed something different, saw a You Tube build along with a member's review of Amati's Fifie. Since my previous modeling included radio control, that's what Fifie will be. Oh my! The r/c world has changed. The Fifie is started and a fun so far build. I hope to be a good and contributing member though may not do a build log this time as I've already well along with the framework but there will always be a next time Dave_E, VTHokiEE, Keith Black and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, You would only be dumb if you have a question and fail to ask it. For me, it seems we too often forget to ask those questions or do even a modicum of research before plunging ahead. Ask away!!!! 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.

mtaylor Posted December 16, 2022 Share #13 Posted December 16, 2022 David, What Allen said is very true. Ask away even if it's just the need to know where to look.
