Hi all this is the first time using a forum as well as hopefully
completing the model.
i was working on my vosper perkasa fast patrol boat on the kitchen bunker,as none of my kids have had the consideration to leave home yet to give me a room for my new hobby,when the boss shouted thru about the advert on telly for Victory & only £2
(thanks for not printing the normal price on the cover of the mags).Well that was it the green light to go for it.
Filled with enthusiasm i bought part1 before commiting myself for subscription.From there i visited the forum which has more or less become a daily ritual.Seems to be people of various levels of experience which is encouraging.
Years ago i saw a model being biult it looked beautiful with the shape of the wooden hull sails & rigging with loads of eye catching detail & shiny bits I had to have one. So i did (single then)although i started of well & feeling pleased with my efforts until the planking stage where my lack of skill&experience & realising i had ten thumbs & not enough patience or commitment the model soon became a mess, my heart sank & the model was soon discarded.
Since then i have seen many beatiful looking models & i fill with envy & admiration for the biulders of such wonderful crafts of art.
So between the mag & the forum i am hoping i will be able to complete the model to a standard i can be proud off with help & advice off how to do certain things perhaps more importantly what not to do
