Darren75 Posted October 30 #1 Posted October 30 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 October 31 #6 Posted October 31 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!
