Hi everyone,

I'd just like to say hello to everyone.
I'm new to ship modelling and at the moment I haven't got a ship kit yet (as money is a bit tight at the moment) but as soon as I can I hope to buy the Santisima Trinidad. I have often seen the adverts on TV to build HMS Victory and have always thought I would love to build her. I now have a lot of time on my hands as I have been medically retired from my job and have a nice big workshop ready and waiting (anything to escape from the Admiral indoors). I will be reading all the info and build logs on the forum to get as much help as I can ready for when I can start to build.

BigGrin Hi Bootes

Welcome to the forum and whatever you choose to build enjoy yourself,
I too am building the trinny and must say there is a wealth of hardwood's provided and the construction is quite straight forward.

Welcome aboard Bootes, you have come to the right place for any assistance you may need...What some of the guys on here don't know about ship modelling ain't worth knowing........But when ever you get started make sure that you enjoy yourself...........
