Javelin Posted February 4, 2023 Share #1 Posted February 4, 2023 Well there it goes, finally decided to join. Some might know me as Neptune at modelwarships.com, but Neptune was already taken over here. I'm in my late 30's, mainly building merchant ships from scratch in all sorts of ways, but generally styrene. I had noticed this site a long while back, but didn't notice any forum connected to it. Recently my interest was sparked by sailing warships and I discovered the awesome build logs over here. I've also toyed with the SIB idea for over 10 years without doing anything with it. I then noticed Glenn McGuire's builds over here and plowed several times through them. In short, I recently started my first SIB (of a modern offshore subject), but plan to create some more, eventually venyuring into rigged ships (I think, still need to learn a lot) Ian_Grant, Overworked724, Ryland Craze and 6 others 9 Quote Roel Gallery Scratch built: 1/700 CLV Living Stone 1/700 ULCC Ti Europe 1/400 Split barge Bengel 1/100 tug Union Eagle 1/2000 Sea Installer - bottle Build logs: 1/2000 Sea Installer - FINISHED - Bottle 1/2000 Spartacus - not in a bottle anymore 1/100 LPG Tanker Chaconia - Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javelin Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share #16 Posted February 18, 2023 Thanks for the welcome. As you have probably seen, I've been active already. Now slowly plowing through some awesome rigged ship topics. Great and helpful work over here. Contemplating a Vanguard Alert as a first wooden ship for the moment. However my shipyard's a bit full, so we'll see.
