Hello from Wakefield New Zealnd

[neuman5022]

Hello guys, 

 

My name is Isaac Neuman, almost 72 years old and I am happy to be here. 

 

My hobby life always revolved around flying, simulated and real life, which with the years made me to build a real flight simulator (sold already) CNC machines and Laser cuttings one too. 

 

Years ago I have purchased with a friend a small ship model from China (a 1:100 Halcon) which came with only one page of instructions and some. I was too busy with other stuff - so this project was shelved for few years. When my good friend passed away I thought it will be good idea to finish it.  I let my imagination loose, and with some help from a Russian guy - I was able to finish it to my liking. 

 

Few weeks ago I went to a toy shop to buy something for my grandkids,  and low and behold I cam across a big box which said Heller HMS Victory which was about half price. I could not resist and brought it home, not knowing what will come ahead...

 

Anyway, I am good for a real challenge, eager to learn new thinks and skills - and hopefully utilize the vast knowledge of the members here to move me foeward to the right direction. 

 

Thank you in advance.

Isaac Hi.

I am Brian from Wellington, new on this site and still finding how to use it.  I am a few years on from you but have built and sailed model boats for most of my life, currently building Caldercraft's Mary Rose.  Have found reports from other members on that model extremely helpful and have got me through a few sticky points, I'm sure you will find the same with HMS Victory.

Good luck with your build.

 

Brian

You will find very good advice and comradeship here no matter what ship you are modeling.

 

Nice to have some fellow New Zealanders on board!! 🙂

Hello Isaac, I did exactly the same thing as you just a couple of weeks back!  Well, my wife decided she could buy the half-price model kit for my birthday.  Naturally, the discount is imaginary as I've already spent several times that amount on updating my tools and equipment, but that's how modelling works!

 

Do not, whatever you do, look at the thread on here of Dafi's build of this kit, as you will end up so far down a rabbit-hole you may never come out...
