Good day all

I live in the uk and am 52 years old. Originally I started building free flight and control line model aeroplanes. Due to work, time and family model building took a back seat. 2 years ago I suffered 4 strokes and needed a way to help rehab my affected side once again turned to model making, but this time I wanted something that was slow and something that allowed me to rebuild fine motor skills and turned to ships. I am currently building the occre albatross and am absolutely loving building again.

Thank you for accepting me to this group and reading my post.

Hi Mark,
A warm welcome!
Are you planning on doing a build log? It would be a great learning experience for both you and us. I would love to follow your progress and see how you tackle the details of this ship.
