Mollusc Posted Wednesday at 05:55 PM Share #1 Posted Wednesday at 05:55 PM Hello from North Yorkshire! Just joined so I thought I'd put the kettle on - priorities of course. I've not built a model boat before, or anything out of wood so this place has been invaluable so far with my Billing boats Norden. It's a beginner's build for sure but going OK, apart from one gigantic mistake which I'll post a photo of soon. It's irreversible but I might get away with it if I lock it in a spare room... I'd like to say thank you for the inspiration so far and hope that I can emulate some of your skills in about 50 years time. Chat soon!

Knocklouder Posted Wednesday at 06:09 PM Share #2 Posted Wednesday at 06:09 PM Mollusc this is the place to be, a lot of great advice and help here on NRG/MSW, start a log for your Norden and you'll see. Good luck on your journey. Bob M. Keith Black, Ryland Craze, Mollusc and 2 others 4 1 Quote Start so you can Finish !!

I don't even know what the parts are called yet; I've planked the hull but didn't do it alongside the back of the keel where it runs to the rudder.

AJohnson Posted Wednesday at 07:36 PM Share #8 Posted Wednesday at 07:36 PM If you start a build log with your Norden, you can tap into loads of help and advice.
