Darren75 Posted Wednesday at 11:51 PM Share #1 Posted Wednesday at 11:51 PM I am happy to be here and hope to gain as much knowledge as possible in this fantastic hobby that has captivated me. My obsession with ships began as a young boy visiting our Maritime Museum (I live in a coastal city..home of the Bluenose actually), and wanting to build similar ships of great detail. Well December 2023 I took the plunge and began working on HMS Terror. I was instantly hooked! I completed in April 2024...where as I am now working on HMS Bounty. Both kits are Occre. Thanks!

Dr PR Posted Thursday at 02:43 AM Share #6 Posted Thursday at 02:43 AM Darren, Many people get hung up on their first build and give up. It takes a few builds under your belt to get to where you are confident you can build anything. Looks like you are well on your way to becoming an excellent ship modeler! mtaylor, Keith Black and robert952 3 Quote Phil Current build: USS Cape MSI-2 Current build: Albatros topsail schooner Previous build: USS Oklahoma City CLG-5 CAD model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
