Adrian Hunter Posted October 26 #1 Posted October 26 Hello all, Just a quick intro to myself. I am very new to wooden ship modelling. In the (dim and distant) past I made many plastic models, and re-found this during the Pandemic lockdowns, also making one wooden plane. Given that I have served as a Master Mariner and Ships Pilot in the British Merchant Navy for many years this is a thing that I will most probably enjoy and given that my Batchelors degree is in History it should be a match made in heaven... I plan to work my way through a few kits of increasing complexity, and I have now finished the first. One day I would like to scratch build, perhaps a ship that I have served on... We will see!
