G'day all,  I have been a member for a few weeks now. I still consider myself to be a beginner. I received my first wooden model 25 years ago; it is HMS VICTORY Cross Section (Main Mast) 1/80 by IMAI. I got frustrated with the process, lack of understanding and know how, and appearance of my build  so for a number of years it has been packed away. Every so often I would take it out and try some more, but not much has been finished to date. No internet back then to get guidance and how to, from. I am now in the middle of building Flying Fish 1/50 Corel and I have under the bench, Thermopylae 1/124 Sergal. I have subscribed to Deagostini Victory build, hoping to get an understanding on, how it all comes together in the build. I am waiting for my next delivery of issue 4 -7. I enjoy reading your build diaries and look forward to reading more, using your methods and examples in your build diaries. If mine turns out half as good as you guys has, I will be happy. I intend to go back and finish the Victory cross section one day. Ritson
