Greetings to all members of Ship of scale!

I just about one and half year went in ship modeling, it was a lot of trials and errors and I learned some basic skill. Hope yours forum helps me to go ahead and deeper.

Last half of year I built Royal Caroline 1:47 from Mantua/Panart. Here several pictures of it

Month ago I start Black Pearl golden version from ZHL1.jpg002.jpg

Dear shipmodelers
It's so pleasant for me to read your responce for my start in forum. Thank you very much

The last few days after registering on the forum I watched and studied it. I read posts, watch models and process they are building. I realized that the forum is a very good school and a pleasant club for meeting and communication. I realized that I wish to go to this school and this club. And I thought that I should tell a little more about how I came here.
I am not young. The main goal was to give some work to my hand and don’t allow my brain to fall. And I feel that shipmodeling is the best occupation for this goal, and also very pleasant
MY way in this direction starts one and half ago:
Trumpeter Scale German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen 1/700 - plastic
Tamiya Merkava 3 Israel Battle tank 1/35 - plastic
I could not remain indifferent to the vile attack on my country and expressed my feelings building the tank. I present this model to my grandson, a tank technician, on one of his vacations from Gaza.
Revell HMS Victory 1/225 – plastic
After this I realized that plastic is not for me. I have loved working with wood all my life
and I switched to wooden models.
Victory 21” from some vendor on Ebay –built half and trash
Viking ship model from some vendor on Ebay – almost built and trash
Again Victory 21” from some vendor on Ebay – and did it. Here some photos
After that I feel I finished children garden and can go to beginning school and order Royal Carolina

All of your models look very good.

Welcome to the club and the college. :D

Hello Elelid, welcome to the SOS group. You are correct about ship modelling keeping our minds active regardless of our age. I also find this hobby very beneficial for treating arthritis in my hands. ;)

A saying I read recently:
“The heart is happiest when the head and hands work together “.
 
Glad to have you aboard Elelid and I think you are being too critical of yourself. Your models look great in my opinion but let's face it, nobody starts off knowing everything about building a ship or a model. Takes lots of studying and patience to get one finished. I think you will do very well in this hobby and I hope you will continue to post your work here so we can all see what your up to.
I am 82 and have been building ship models for thirty years or so and I'm still a novice. Whenever I think I'm good at something I scan through this forum and get put in my place real quick. We have some real Masters here and nobody has ever not answered a question I may have had. Great place to learn but the bar keeps getting higher and higher. I love it. Norgale, Florida, USA
My regards to your son and he has our support. 100%
