Hello from Melbourne, Australia

Hi all, thanks for the intro, Admin.

My dad was born in the UK and was a passionate wooden model ship builder, and he had a few kits in various stages of builds that he loved to sped time on. Unfortunately he passed away suddenly a number of years ago, but he never got to complete any of the builds as he was always really busy.

So I took over his models and have committed to completing the builds in his honour. I'm a newbie but am pretty good with crafts and building.
I'm currently working on the Clara May (Artesania Latina) which only had the frame glued together when I took over. I'll also later work on the Port Jackson Schooner (Modellers Shipyard) and if we have found enough of the parts, I'm hoping to complete his Albatross (Mantua Models).

I do have a question about the Clara May but will post that in the general forum.
Thanks!
Hallo @JimmyT ,
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
