My name is John. I'm retired and I live on the Kent coast. I've spent several months thinking about whether I should build a POB model, and if so what it should be. I did quite a lot of research and for most of this time I really wanted to build the Victory Models HMS Fly but then I discovered the Vanguard model of Sphinx and after a quick search through this forum I bought it.
I'm not entirely new to model ship building but it's been about thirty years since my last build and I'm not entirely sure how good my previous attempts were by current standards. Given my age, HMS Sphinx might be the last wooden ship model I build, so I will try to make it perfect however long it takes.
