Shuriksun Posted February 24 #1 Posted February 24 (edited) 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. Edited February 24 by Shuriksun Vlax, ccoyle, KevinR and 5 others 8 Quote
