Hello. I am Lee. or Admiral Nelson. Age 34 from Manchester, UK.
I have been reading this site for a while but only recently made an account.

Would love to make friends in this community and learn from the pros!

Very new to wooden model ship building. Only just converted from plastic kits: started my first wood kit which I found for cheap. A Santa Maria by Constructo (I have added an image of progress up-to-now).

My dream ship to build is Shackleton's Endurance or HMS Victory (if I can find the space to keep them).

Thanks, would love to hear what you are working on right now.

Welcome onboard, have fun and enjoy the hobby, lots to learn here from the young and old timers.

Your start looks good, please start a build log so we can follow along.
