Hello!
This Is the start of a new hobby for me; I have wanted to build a decent ship model for years, but did not get around to it. I am a retired engineer, but the last 18 years of working I built and restored harps. The implication here is that I have lots of tools, and some experience using them.
For a first model project (I have built a 16-ft wood strip canoe) I am considering the “Speedy” by Vanguard. It appears to be something that I could complete in a year, and at age 81 taking on a multi-year project appears overly optimistic.
Advice is requested and greatly appreciated.
