Hi from Sydney!


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody!
In childhood, I built a few sailing ships from paper.
Now I'm building my first timber model: 
Russian Imperial Yacht Shtandart (Deagostini partwork).
Almost everything I do according to the instructions (just minor upgrades).

I live near Sydney (Blue Mountains) and will be happy to communicate online and face to face if somebody lives not far from me.
I'm new to the model building and will be happy to get extra knowledges if somebody will share it ;D 

Best regards, Alex.

Hi Alex,

 

I don't actually live in the Blue Mountains, I live at Gosford. I travel to the BlueM occasionally for bushwalks.

 

That's a great looking model you've got.

 

Cheers

Richard

That's very sad :( 
I already thought that my neighbor was a hobby colleague...


Best regards, Alex.

Hi Keith, yes, I want to build some Russian first stim frigate (Khersones for example) but I'm not ready to build from scratch, and also 12 Apostols waiting for me :) 

 

Best regards, Alex.
