I am in East Bentleigh, Melbourne, Victoria. I have built plastic models from early childhood, planes and ships but my main interest is ships. Started with military but grew into older style with all the maritime history here. Having the Shipwreck Coast I loved the fascination of sail and the Cutty Sark. I built the Revell 1:96 and Thermopylae, then bought IMAI plank on frame with big plans to put it into a bar. But that never eventuated. Still have it in a box, plans a little silver fish eaten. Never knew of other model makers that was all Hearns Hobbbies had at the time and no such thing as internet Late 1970s. Fast forward I wish I had held off. I have bought the Revell kit again to restart my love of model making, and others. A number of plastic and plank on frame. Billings, Artesania, Caldercraft, Model Shipways, Tamiya, Hobby Boss, new and old. I should put a list together. Amazing what you get from Facebook marketplace too. A couple are bought damaged to help re-hone skills and not worry if I cannot fix, just learn and provide spares, lol. Joined here to read and learn new skills, techniques, ideas, meet.
