Hi, I'm new to modelling, my dad used to build models out of match sticks when I was a kid.

 

Made a promise to finish his ship now he past and I'm a man of my word.  OK didn't realise it was a magazine kit with many missing parts but I'll figure it out lol.

 

Going to get one of the 3 stage starter kids that you guys recommend from one of the local model shops near Sheffield UK if possible before ordering online

Welcome to MSW, Lillypawz.    Is there a first name we can address you by?   I don't know about the UK, but many hobby shops will order the kit for you, or you can order from Model Expo/Model Shipways directly.
