Highlander Posted August 22 Share #1 Posted August 22 Good day everyone. Retired after many years teaching mathematics and building several planes and three boats – all plastic. Now, I would like to, ‘have a go’ at building the OcCre version of the Bounty launch. From reading quite a lot on this forum, I understand that this kit would suit a beginner like me. Like a teacher, I will be asking questions… Following advice from this forum I have purchased the book, ‘Ship Modeling Simplified’, Frank Mastini. Bought a few bits and pieces which I think I’ll need and believe that I’m in the right place to learn. The build logs are incredibly impressive! A big thank you to all the advice given which I have taken on board – forgive the pun. Stay safe and take care.

Nirvana Posted August 23 Share #14 Posted August 23 Highlander, warm welcome to MSW. The Bounty launch is a good start project. And since you are a "Highlander" meaning you are "immortal" you have time to build all the kits you would like to.
