Meekes Posted Wednesday at 06:30 PM #1 Posted Wednesday at 06:30 PM Hey everyone! I've got the feeling i'll be one of the younger people here as i've only just turned 27. 😅 My name's Yorick and i'm from a small town in the south of West-Flanders, Belgium and an architectural draftsman. I've never worked on any model projects and i'm overall not that handsy of a person so this is all very new territory for me. I'm a massive watch enthousiast (collecting them, reading about them, looking at them because i can't afford them) and always wanted to work on them. Getting into model ships always been something that interested me. Also getting into watchmaking is alot harder (and i think more expensive) than model ships so this seemed like the better hobby to atleast start with. Other than that i game and travel alot. Currently i'm still roaming the forum and the internet for the right starter project, and right now i think i'll be going for the Occre Polaris as this one has been heavily suggested to me on here. (I'm still open for other suggestions for my first or perhaps second project in the far future). Next to that i'm also still working on a list of tools that i'll have to get. I will be making a building log on my first project but as my weekends are almost always packed it'll definitely be a very slow project with often gaps between update posts. ccoyle, Barbossa, chris watton and 5 others 8
