Toolmaker Posted January 18, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2023 Hello to all, My name is Paul and I live in Wales, UK. I have modelled for some years starting with plastic, then more multi media using brass and resin and more lately I have concentrated on wooden ships. My first ship build was a 1/200 scale USS Arizona with lots of etch. This was followed by a 1/72 scale Flower Class Corvette with more brass than plastic. Recently I have built two Vanguard Models kits, the Fifie Lady Eleanor and the Cutter HMS Alert and I am currently just starting the rigging on the Syren Ship Model Company, Medway Longboat. I have been undercover here for some time but having just signed up to the HMS Winchelsea group and acknowledging the help likely needed with that, I thought it best to climb out of my hiding place. Thank you for having me Paul ccoyle, Edwardkenway, druxey and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted January 18, 2023 Share #4 Posted January 18, 2023 A warm welcome to you. Our youngest son and daughter-in-law ran a 200+ mile foot race in Wales last September and raved about the beauty of Wales. Hope the admiral and I get to visit there one day.

Allan I think that must be the Dragons Back race. Probably the worlds toughest race and starts a couple of miles from my home. 23 hours ago, AJohnson said: Good to have you delurking Paul.
