I'm very new at wooden ship model building, I have played around with plastic models mainly military aircraft.
I'm a Veteran looking to escape into ship building and I'm so inspired by people like yourselves online i actually watch a guy in the UK showing step by step build of HMS Victory on YouTube
As I'm on a Veteran pension I decided to start with a cheap kit ($15 Aus) Temu
I think but been extremely diligent by applying the principles i have picked up. A practice run for a while hopefully getting it down pat to eventually tackle HMS Endeavour, HMS Bounty.
Thanks for having me

Thanks Pete really glad I found this site,only a newbie but very keen.
I started out with a cheap model on Temu currently working on and in my opinion is that it gives me a good insight to the anatomy of a wooden sailing ship.
Tools required and how the wood can bend and shape.
I love the bigger kits and hopefully one day I can tackle them, but for now 1:100 to cut my teeth on so to speak.

Welcome here. Have to admit to googling Zizie. I've been to Yeppoon so not far off. I'm in Central NSW, far from the ocean.
