Hi all.

[Dave Ward]

Brian,
welcome to the forum - looks like you've got your workbench sorted, but how long will it stay that tidy?
My first career was as an Engineer Officer in the MN.......................... then came ashore!
The Nelson is an eyecatching ship, caught between the world wars, never very glamorous, but a reliable performer. Quite a few shipbuilders on the forum now, I dabble a bit myself. Look around, the forum has all genres of modelmaking & cross over of techniques and tips is part of it's strengths - that and the friendly banter of the members. Enjoy!
Dave

welcome to the party

Welcome aboard Brian, you'll find all genres besides ships...I do dabble a bit but in small 1/700 scale. Great to see a tidy workbench...very rare amongst us except for Barry.

Cheers,
Richard aka Wabble

Thanks again for the warm welcome, as for my bench i suffer with mild ocd and am very tidy, Dave tried to join the merchant navy in 79 but I had a tatoo under age so wasn't accepted for officer training both my brothers sailed with blue funnel and shell. I will start a build thread for the Nelson next week

Welcome Brian. This is a great place. I've been here nearly a year and only got into modelling then, apart from quick and dirty stuff I buily as a kid in the 70s.

Welcome Brian from the founder of the Untidy Bench Club, no doubt seeing your bench you will be approached by Jim R who is the president of the Tidy Bench Club, he's always seeking to ensnare new members.Be aware of false promises of life time membership following a large fee.:anguished:

A great forum, helpful and where you will make good friends with offers of help should you need any.

Hi Brian, I've not been here long myself but it is the friendliest forum I have been on. A great place, you will enjoy it.

Welcome Brian! There is a cadre of Navy persons on the forum but I don't hold it against them - I was born into a RN/RM family but escaped early! Enjoy mate!

Just remember the motto of the Tidy Bench Club. "An organised bench shows an organised mind" :smiling:
Joking aside Brian I'm rather like you. A bit OCD when it comes to being tidy and organised, in my life in general as well as modelling.
