Hello.
I am a new ship modeller from the Netherlands. I have been a modeller of some form or another since I was little, and the bulk of my builds have been railway models - mostly scratchbuilds of British steam era engines and wagons. I have stepped into shipbuilding as I have always been fascinated by sailing ships, and am currently halfway or so through the Model Shipways 18th Century Longboat kit. I have plenty of tools, for wood and metalwork - I have a lathe, and a full woodworking shop here at home - and thus made the step easy-ish... planking is quite the challenge! A new plank bender iron has helped a lot.
I look forward to learning from everyone here!
Amanda
