Hello all,
I have been dabbling with modelling on and off since I was a kid, I have had some reasonable success but significant failures. Having recently moved up into the loft I now have a huge space in which I can try to hone my (pretty poor) skills,
I have currently a huge pile of un-started kits mostly sailing ships but a few submarines too. Odd choices I know but I love the challenge and intricacy of sailing ships and being a retired submariner, it is difficult to ignore the 'Tools of the Trade' .
I did build a model of HMS Vanguard, one of my old homes, but like my almost finished HMS Endeavour, it fell victim to 'erself's duster! However, she doesn't venture up to the loft much.
I think my first attempt is going to be the U-Boat Wilhelm Bauer (Ex U2540) Which I was lucky enough to visit a few years back, we also visited U995 on the same trip too.
Oh I forgot to add I am a mad keen biker too, so the above visits were part of one of my many road trips, unfortunately due to a serious accident a decade back I am now on a three wheeler (Can-Am Spyder).
Well, that's me, I look forward to participating and learning from you incredible people.
