Hi Ozzy, I don't think it be funny at all if you did a build diary of your build as well. In fact I think the members here would love to see your work, there are many diaries throughout the forum many of the same build and the members here love to see the different personal touches modellers apply to their builds... If you did a diary then I for one would be following your work....  .. As for paints, go for the Admiralty paints if you can and you won't go far wrong.. Good luck with your build. Regards Alan

Hiya Ozzy! I reckon the MS community would love to see your build. I posted mine simply because i'm a complete modelling newbie and wanted some feedback and support along the way. I probably should have posted it in the members build forum (may end up getting moved by admins?) but the Aussie forum was looking a little quiet, so just posted it there for now :)

That's great to hear Ozzy and I'll be following all the way... Remember, we are hear to help should you need it. Like you I had grave misgivings about taking this on especially as a first build but, now am waiting for issue 80 to arrive plus I have many more in storage.... Do warn you though, once bitten by the bug you will find one build is not enough....  .. Good luck... Regards Alan

He has just purchased this kit and should be starting it very soon... This one would be too large for me to find space for but am presently building the Mantua 1.200 version..... Titanic would be a great choice and the experience you gain from building the SOTS will stand you in good stead.... .. Will be following... Regards Alan

Hey all,
Figured I better join the forum as I have decided to go in for this build and subscribed a few days ago after getting the first issue t the Newsagent. Its my first model ship build but i'm not new to modelling, I have been collecting and painting war hammer for the last 10 years or so, so Im hoping it will help with this build. I hope to start my own build diary soon as a means to keep me motivated!

I am not sure how this works, but as I. Am a long time model ship builder I am interested in being involved in the continue ing story of building the SOS. Do I need to pick a nickname?

LoL Yes I do forgive. Hope you had a good sleep. Picked up issue 2 yesterday. Going to wait until I have finished a few other things, before I start building her. In other news my RB7 is stalled due to supply problems with the newsagent and I have started working on the HMS Victory again.
