brunnels Posted January 15, 2024 #1 Posted January 15, 2024 Just wanted to say hello, I am Barry from Oklahoma. I have been wanting to build a model ship for a number of years and finally decided to jump in the water. I just ordered the HMS Beagle kits from Occre, supplies, tools and I am chomping at the bit for them to get delivered. I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can in the meantime from this forum and YouTube videos, I do have woodworking experience and used to build scale models quite a bit when I was younger. My favorite part of every new hobby is just being an open student and learning from others who have years of experience. You will see me around, and I will try to start a build log once the kit arrives as long as i don't get so wrapped up in the project that I forget to document and take pictures. ccoyle, ERS Rich, Baker and 5 others 8 Current Build Finished Builds: HMS Sphinx, Vanguard Models 1:64 Scale HMS Beagle HMS Speedy, Vanguard Models 1:64 Scale
