Hello everyone.

A model maker since childhood, I started with plastic airplanes in my teens, then moved on to ship kits back when the internet didn't exist, so you had to figure things out on your own.
I built the "Cutty Sark", the "Pourquoi Pas?", and a few fishing boats.
Then I spent some time at the Arsenal in the Caribbean, where I built a modest "Armed Launch," but I didn't have the space to continue in that direction.
Since returning from the Caribbean, I've gone back to plastic airplanes, but I'm starting to miss wood.
So, for the past few months, I've decided to get back into wooden kits, and I think I'll take the plunge towards the end of the year (maybe as a Christmas present) with the HMS Pegasus, which I really like.
I've seen some examples of this model on your forum, which will be a great help.
I'll have a few quick questions for you before we embark on this adventure.
Thanks to Google for the translation, as my English is quite basic.
Best regards,
Claude
 
A warm welcome Claude!
My birthday gift has been sitting at home for months, but I won't get my hands on it until the big day... Just three more weeks to go!
