I live in the beautiful Rhine valley on the border with Switzerland and Germany near Lake Constance in the city of Dornbirn.
 
Welcome to this forum. You are now among a great group of ship model enthusiasts. Their years of experience will be a great help to you as you get started with this enjoyable hobby.

Beautiful part of Austria, so you have the lake, hills, swiss chocolate, bavarian beer all this very close to your home.
And very close to the museum and workshop of our friend and member @Ivan Trtanj in Kressbronn - I guess you visited already his collection?

IVAN TRTANJ - Schiffsmuseum Kressbronn - report of my visit in his museum and his workshop

On the way to Rochefort, I made a stop-over in the city of Kressbronn and visited our member @Ivan Trtanj for some hours. I met him first time this year in Hamburg during the modelling days in the Hamburg museum....take a look here...

BTW: you are also "close" to Augsburg - maybe you are interested in a modelers meeting in May this year?

Regional Meeting of "Arbeitskreis Historischer Schiffbau" and forum "Segelschiffsmodellbau" in Augsburg / Germany on 28th May 2022

EDIT After the meeting -> for photos showing the models and others made during the meeting please go to post #54 od this thread / topic...

Welcome aboard! I drove through that area last summer and a couple of years ago was able to do some skiing a bit to the east. A beautiful area around the lake - in all 3 countries.
