Hi all
Now I'm not sure how much interest there might be in this. I didn't intend to share it on the forum but having made a start I'm finding it very interesting and thought that maybe others might as well.
I have liked those big, wooden ship kits for a while but although the results can be stunning I don't have the space, the time, the money and, most importantly, the skill to attempt one. A month or so before Christmas there was a sale on ModelSpace. This kit was reduced from £169 down to £135. It was originally a DeAgostini part works. I thought "well it's now or never" :smiling:
Anyway a few days later this was delivered.
30 plastic bags of bits. Laser cut parts, metal bits, all sorts of wood and other odds and ends. Instructions are downloadable and there are official build videos on YouTube.
Anyway, as I said I have made a start and I'll post my progress to date later. Hopefully a few of you will think it worth popping in from time to time. Unfortunately due to the lock down you will have to social distance, wear masks and bring your own refreshments :tongue-out3: Mind you at the speed I work by the time I get this done we'll all have had the jab and life may be returning to normal :thumb2:
Stay safe
Jim
