Hello Everyone. I am thinking of starting another model after many years of pursuing other hobbies (currently vintage car restoration). My previous models have been scratch built plank on frame using hand tools. My first was Leon to 1/16" scale following Harold Underhill's book. I didn't finish this one as house moves, jobs and children left me with little time, but I have kept her together with her cargo of my children's milk teeth. I made a model of Three Brothers from Edgar March's plans which I gave away and my last model was a sailing bawley to 1/4" from non-scale plans from the Science Museum - this my favourite model so far, generally built from sycamore with all metal fittings fashioned out of copper wire. I have a car to finish before anything serious happens but I will enjoy roaming the site to see what everyone else is doing and possibly getting some ideas for a subject.
