At 84 I’ve just returned to model making after many years away. No more tennis, no more golf but a fascinating hobby. Just in the process of finishing the Airfix 1:24 Spitfire however plastic isn my favourite medium, wooden boats are my first choice. Am waiting delivery of the Occre Ulises followed by the Bluenose 11 which I have seen in Lunenburg on more than one . I would certainly be interested in knowing where I can acquire aftermarket item for the Ulises in 1/30. Not into 3D printing just yet.A working tug carries much more deck gear than comes with the kit.

Amazing cockpit detail Pete. Welcome to SoS from down under.

My work on the Spit. First attempt at a plastic kit but much prefer wooden marine kits. Next project is OcCre tug Ulises. On order and looking forward to getting it. By then the Spit will be finished.
