Thank you Keith, I just hope it will be a positive and successful journey :).

 

Can I just create the LOG of the build by showing the box and then create a new post with the unboxing?

Welcome to the Scottish part of MSW :)

 

Hi Simon, I just noticed that you are in Fraserburgh, that`s just two hours away lol. I`m in Elgin, so not that far away.

I agree Simon, for Scottish standards that`s pretty close ^^

Looking forward to seeing your build. Don't think it's impossible that its contemporaries landed on 'our' coast?

Thank you, I agree with it, when you read about their travels, who knows, maybe it was once here on the Scottish Coast somewhere. It will be my first wooden build, have done a few plastic models (only space ships, never real ships) and some resin builds (movie characters like Freddy Kruger, Alien Queen, Predator etc.) but never before a wooden model. We will see how I do lol...
