Confused Confused

Hello everyone

After years of wanting to build a wooden model ship, I've gone and ordered HMS Victory after reading nearly every topic on this forum.

I have 25 years of experience of model building and painting but this will be my first wooden ship build and fear I may have bitten off more than I can chew though I suppose this remains to be seen.

It looks like a friendly forum and I look forward to receiving my first issues and getting to grips with the build.

Yes indeed the partwork from DeAgostini, the slow and steady approach bit by bit was very appealing and am looking forward to sharing my experiences. I only ordered it tonight so I will continue to read, read and read again the official build!

LOL Yes, I re-read your post to see that it was the partwork then I edited my reply.
It is an excellent partwork and will build your skills as you progress so don't worry, the instructions in the mags are a joy to followBigGrin
