Greetings everyone.
But man did I enjoy building it. I hope I will be here for some time.
here are some photos of ''Polaris"
Cheers Wout/Woody
Don't know If I did this correctly or this should have been somewhere else., if so, I am sorry)
I'm Wout. I'm 19 years old and I live in Belgium.
I'm totally new to the hobby. I did however build a few Revell kits before, but does that count? I normally make maquettes for school.
So I had some materials already for my first build.
I stumbled by accident on this wonderful forum. I immediately got in love with wooden model kits. After a lot of searching I settled for the Ulises from Occre. Also because @paulv1958 did such an amazing job with his build. That helped me a few times. Thank you for that.
Anyway, after a lot of reading of helpful posts I got ready to start. That was back in September. Now, almost 6 months later I have finished the ship and ready for my first post here. It wasn't easy, that's for sure, but it made me hungry for more.
I learned a lot!, bending wood, epoxy, laying a deck, staining and colouring of wood, not being happy with the plans --> scratch building, making flags, soldering and electricity. Ooof
Are there things I would have done differently? Yea of course. but you gotta start somewhere.
And it was not cheap. luckily my dad likes RC as well, so I got some sponsoring from there at least.
